Delicate Nippon Whisky with a heart of Scotland.

Kaiyo (‘ocean’ in Japanese) was created by Master Blender Jeff Karlovitch, the Whisky veteran of Bunnahabhain, the parent company. Kaiyo Whisky is a unique concoction in many ways: it’s double-distilled and double-matured; it’s incredibly rare and exclusive; it spent some time traveling the seas to mature in the dynamic maritime realm of sloshing, temperature changes, and varying air pressure; and it spent some time in the highly exclusive Mizunara oak.

Kaiyo’s Mizunara Oak is a 86 Proof unchill filtered delight with no age statement, nor do they reveal the distillery. But that isn’t important if you’re dealing with an intriguing experiment. The maturing in Mizunara oak brings intensive flavors from this Spirit and the barrels that spent several years seafaring gave it a light and complex character with sensations that could fool us into thinking we’re sipping on one of the "Glens." It’s like an enigmatic sailor who refuses to reveal his history, simply saying "Figure me out."

Kaiyo Mizunara

An excellent Japanese whisky. Nose is honey with some grass. Taste starts with a delicate blend of honey and vanilla with some hints of apple. It then progresses a bolder finish with smoke and spice.

An interesting blend of flavors. There is a strong oaky presence that fades into some spicy vanilla with some lemon in the finish. Well balanced. Overall very nice

Very interesting - it has its own unique character that is not like anything else I have tried. I can see why it’s not landing quite as firmly with other reviewers, as they seem to be comparing it to other lighter scotches they are familiar with. That being said, I think the smell isn’t as pleasant as the taste. Overall, it is extremely satisfying, especially after one of your go-to, heavier hitting counterparts. This one is definitely not my deserted island clh, but it is so very special, whilst still being extremely drinkable.
