Kaiyo Whiskey Japanese Mizunara Oak Cask Strength (Ryu’s Fire Ball – 1145) – Mash & Journey & Keg N Bottle Private Barrel Pick 750 ml

Back on October 18, 2022, The Mash and Journey Whiskey Club sat down with special guest Master Blender Keffrey Karlovitch, Founder of KAIYO Japanese whiskey to select our first cask-strength Japanese whiskey single barrels! These barrels are 100% Mizunara Cask matured at sea for 10 years, non-chill filtered, and bottled at cask strength. After tasting through three completelydifferent samples we landed on barrels#1108and #1145 which are sister barrels and extremelysimilar.

These special barrels are flavor bombs! On the nose brings sandalwood, burnt toffee, sea salt, white chocolate, and a hint of toasted coconut. Once you give this whisky some time to open up, the palate brings a heavy punch of cream soda, heavily salted caramel, chocolate, brewed soy sauce, and savory spices!

If it’syour first time trying Japanese whiskey and Mizunara maturation, these rare, cask-strength, 10-year single barrels are a great way to get your hands on some at an affordable price!
