Tasting Profile:Nose: Ethereal and layered. Sandalwood, incense, dried apricot, and yuzu peel open into beeswax, white pepper, and a faint floral perfume, unmistakably Mizunara.Palate: Silken and meditative. Notes of vanilla pod, spiced pear, old leather, and cherry blossom intertwine with clove, coconut husk, and polished oak.Finish: Long, dry, and spiritual. A lingering dance of mizunara spice, sweet earth, and faded fruit leaves a graceful final impression.
Production Details:Crafted from a blend of carefully selected malt whiskies and aged for 20 years in rare Mizunara oak casks, prized for their unique grain, aromatic complexity, and scarcity. Bottled at 48% ABV for richness and structure, this expression is non-chill filtered and naturally colored â a tribute to Japanese purity and patience.
Perfect For:Collectors of Japanese whisky masterpieces, seekers of Mizunara-aged expressions, and refined celebrations that demand something extraordinary.
Expert Notes:Mizunara oak isnât just rare, itâs unpredictable and temperamental to work with. But when tamed over 20 years, the result is transcendent: incense-like spice, textural depth, and haunting finish. This is a whisky to savor in silence.

Interesting Fact:Mizunara oak trees take over 200 years to mature before being coopering-ready and the woodâs porous nature makes aging a challenge, but one that yields unforgettable results in the hands of master blenders.
Serving Suggestions:Sip neat in a tulip glass to experience its full aromatic spectrum. Let it rest, it opens slowly. A drop of water can unlock hidden florals and incense. Best enjoyed in solitude or shared with reverent company.
