Kaiyo First Edition Whisky Mizunara Oak ‘The Rubi’ (46% abv)

Kaiyo The Rubi has just landed in the US. It spends most of its life in Mizunara Oak, then finished in Ruby Port pipes.
Kaiyo’s Master Blender wanted to create a whisky that was rich with layers of flavor and in total balance. When asked which of his whiskies is his favorite, the answer is simple — “the next one.”
100% Malted Barley Whisky From Japan, un-chillfiltered. 3 years in Japanese Mizunara oak barrels. 3 Month Ocean Maturation. 7 additional years maturing in Mizunara. 4 last months finished in first-fill ex-Ruby port pipes.
Tasting notes:
Candied orange and toasted marshmallow, with notes of sandalwood and mango fill your glass. Hints of dark chocolate and peppermint last on the palate with high viscosity, making for a long finish.
