Wow, that's all I have to say—that's really good.

"I purchased this bottle the other day at Tipxy. Wow is all I have to say—it's really good. I have over 200 bottles of whisky in my collection, and this one has quickly become my go-to drink. eager to try the other products in the series. Sweet scent, mild flavor, and pleasant spice finish."

— Fudd Z. (5/5)

Now on my third bottle

"I've had the pleasure of savoring two bottles of Kaiyo in the short time I've known about it, and I'm already halfway through a third. The subtle notes and smooth, lingering finish are quite pleasurable; the price point can't be beat. Several clients and acquaintances I gave this to for the holidays who were unfamiliar with Japanese whisky liked it."

— Trillanes A. (5/5)

I purchased this whiskey because I like it.

"If I didn't like this whiskey, I wouldn't have purchased it. Stop the complete madness of the review culture. I don't care what other people think, and neither should you. I've already spent too much time writing this, so don't waste your time reading this."

— Junifer L. (5/5)

Try it instead of listening to negative reviews.

"Delicious and complicated. I personally prefer a little ice or water with cask strength to bring out the taste. It's important to note that another reviewer only gave this whisky one star since the app or reseller sent the wrong bottle."

— Kayden G. (5/5)

Wonderful Christmas gift for myself

"I had never heard of this whisky before, but the Tipxy sellers persuaded me to try something new, and I'm pleased I did. My new preferred! I appreciate Steve's assistance on this one."

— Taras J. (5/5)

Excellent flavor that is smooth and flavorful

"I bought some whiskey on my way home from work to present to a dinner party. The night's favorite by a wide margin was it."

— Ellergen B. (5/5)

I think it's superior to Nikki Coffee.

"Although it costs $20 less than Nikka Coffee, it has a far more pleasing nose and finish."

— Faye S. (5/5)

The Kaiyo Whiskey is excellent.

""I never imagined I would like whiskey, but this thing is fantastic; I bought two more bottles.""

— Lou H. (5/5)

It is incredibly silky.

"Quite smooth, whether you prefer it plain or with ice, it was undoubtedly delicious and simple to drink."

— Kade I. (5/5)

Unimpressive Mizunara Oak Whisky

"After tasting a fantastic Mizunara Oak aged whiskey from Bainbridge Organic Distillers, I decided to get this. I was quite eager to try this and share it with a couple of my close friends who enjoy drinking whisky. Unfortunately, this bottle was quite subpar. Unique to Mizunara, the nose has a nuttiness and faint spice that is really intriguing. However, the flavor is unremarkable, and after tasting the whiskey, I was unable to identify any distinguishing qualities. Since there is only the nose to begin with, I won't even bother trying to explain the finish because it is obvious that there isn't one. I've discovered from learning about Mizunara Oak that it takes a very long period to age whisky in this type of oak for the flavor to emerge. I'm going to say that this whisky hasn't aged very long at all, which is evident in its total lack of flavor and character. Additionally, the distiller's website and label are very ambiguous, which I suppose is done on purpose to conceal subpar or hastily produced goods for the consumer. This whisky is of subpar quality but is being marketed at a high price only because Mizunara Oak is so rare and special. The whisky has been aged long enough to produce its scent, but not its distinctive flavor or finish from the wood. My best assumption is that whisky has color added to make it appear aged. Travesty."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 AI Rating

This Kaiyo Mizunara Oak Cask Strength Japanese Whisky matures in mizunara casks prized for their character but notoriously tricky for coopers to build, thanks to the wood's delicate grain. That extra care yields a whisky with real depth at full strength. Pour it neat to catch the mizunara influence before any water opens it up.
