Kaiyo Mizunara Oak The Peated (2nd Edition), 46%
Price: $89 ● Issue: Summer 2019 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick
This is utterly unique; made from imported Scottish peated malt, it spends 2 years in madeira casks, then 6 years in mizunara casks. Light, clean, fruity refreshment: apple, white grape, lingering cigar smoke, coconut macaroons, and ample Japanese oak influence. Apple and watermelon flavors, developing a more sugary fruitiness of Life Savers hard candy, all brushed with gentle spice and a swish of smoke.
