Hatozaki Omakase Collection 8 year old Pure Malt Mizunara Cask Finish, 46%

Price: 90 Issue: Fall 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Japanese Whisky

This one has plenty to say for itself: sweet and spicy mizunara characteristics with aromas of baked apple, heather honey, golden sultana, marzipan, dried orange peel, and stone fruits. Created by Kimio Yonezawa, Kaikyo Distillery's master distiller and blender, there is a burst of fragrant spice disrupting the flavors of red apple and golden syrup, relinquishing control to candied orange, apricot, and crystalized ginger. Definitely deserves your attention. (3,500 bottles)
