Overview

More Info

Kaiyo, which translates to Ocean, is a fascinating endeavor in aging. After an initial, land-based stint aging, this whiskey spends three months ocean-aging before being returned to port in Japan and aged further before bottling. Kaiyo is aged in Mizunara Oak, a rare and expensive Japanese variety of very porous oak. Because the trees grow crooked, they need to be around 200 years old before they will make a barrel. Japanese whiskies are almost never bottled at cask strength, cellar away this super tasty and very limited production when available.
Tasting notes

Nose: Floral, white wine, sawdust, fresh peaches, hint of maple syrup, pears, perfumy, coconut, bakery aromas.

Taste: Juicy pear, nutmeg, vanilla, a sweet and salty vibe, hints of oak in the back, jazz apples, tropical notes emerge over time.

Finish: More orchard fruits, minty, some delicate oak, but not as much as expected, a slight earthiness, sea air, clove, honey.

Reviewers on Single Malt Savvy and Nomunication scored Kaiyo Cask Strength 88/100. Whisky Advocate noted tangy orange, ginger, fennel, cedar, marzipan and orange-Jell-O notes from 53% ABV mizunara aging finished on open ocean. Crowd verdict: a fantastic showcase of full-term mizunara, not just finishing.
