HATOZAKI OMAKASE WHISKEY 15YR MIZUNARA CASK FINISH 46% 750ML JAPAN

The Hatozaki Omakase Small Batch 15 Year Old Mizunara Cask Finish is a premium, limited-release Japanese whisky (under 3,000 bottles) from Kaikyo Distillery, aged 12 years in American oak and finished for 3 years in rare Japanese Mizunara casks. Bottled at 46% ABV, it features notes of sandalwood, dried fruits, and caramel. Tasting Notes Aroma Hatozaki Omakase Rye Whisky Mizunara Cask Finish presents an initial note of rye cereal and fresh oak spice on the nose. Palate Developing into a robust oaky palate with hints of mint and black pepper. Finish Rounded finish enriched by lingering notes of coconut, orange peel, and cloves. Hatozaki whisky is proud to introduce the third limited edition of our “Omakase Collection” – a Japanese cooking concept where the ‘chef ’, in this case our Master Blender, decides on the recipe to surprise and delight his audience. For his newest expression, Kimio Yonezawa reveals a rye whisky blend aged in new charred oak and crafted in small batches. Then for the signature finish: maturation in traditional Mizunara oak casks. This rare Japanese oak is sourced from the Hokkaido and Tohoku forests. The end result is a fruity, dry, and spicy whisky that is not colored and unchill filtered to preserve its full character. Launched by the Kaikyo distillery, the Omakase collection was born of Kimio Yonezawa’s vision to create elegant and genuine whiskies aged on the shores of the Seto inland sea. A quiet world, an ecosystem where peace reigns supreme and natural forces wield their inimitable power. The sea winds and salty breezes provide ideal and unique conditions for aging whiskies.
