Kaiyo Wood Library Series The Unicorn 10 year old Very Rare Bourbon Barrel Finish, 46%

Price: 100 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Japanese Whisky

Finished in wet-char bourbon barrels, the nose has pecan pie, toasted wood sugars, maple syrup, oak char, roasted spices, espresso foam, and cedarwood. The typical Kaiyo mizunara character feels lost here, but it’s more than made up for with the delicious flavors from those bourbon barrels. The palate brings milk chocolate, malt, roasted spices, dark toffee, forest honey, roasted pecan, oak char, and cinnamon.
