Gary Clark, Japanese Whisky Handbook
Kaiyō whisky is matured in the finest Japanese Mizunara oak casks. These casks are handmade
due to Mizunara oak’s delicate wood grain. They are among the rarest casks in the world and are
considered the finest in which to mature whisky. After years of maturing our casks go on a final
maturation at sea voyage for up to 3 months, leaving from Osaka Japan.
