Discover the essence of Japanese whisky craftsmanship with Kaiyo The Signature. This exceptional blended malt whisky, matured entirely in rare mizunara oak casks and bottled at 43% ABV, offers a truly distinctive tasting experience. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 91 points, describing it as an "easy sipper" with "pure honey" notes, a "brush of ginger heat," and a smoky finish that intensifies with each taste. Adding water unlocks further spice and a buttery smoothness.
Whisky Advocate bestowed a score of 92 upon Kaiyo The Signature, highlighting the "spice, incense, and sandalwood flavors" derived from the precious mizunara oak. This rare wood has become a modern hallmark of Japanese whisky. The whisky undergoes a unique three-month ocean voyage from Osaka to Liverpool after its initial maturation in Japan. This journey is believed to encourage further flavor development. Expect initial aromas of ground spices, vanilla sponge cake, honey, and brown sugar, accompanied by fragrant notes of aromatic woods and incense. The palate unfolds with flavors of pastry, egg custard, and allspice, leading to a creamy vanilla sensation and a long, lingering finish of fading spices.
Kaiyo's unwavering commitment to quality is evident in their selection of mizunara oak, the world's most expensive cask wood. Their pioneering research emphasizes the impact of wood on whisky, leading to the creation of bespoke, handmade barrels from hand-selected, slow-growth trees.
