Entered as Kaiyō Mizunara Oak The Signature, 43%Ground spices, vanilla sponge cake, honey, brown sugar cubes, and scents of aromatic woods and incense. Pastry, egg custard, and allspice flavors, followed by a wave of vanilla creaminess and a lengthy finish with fading spices.

Entered as Kaiyo Mizunara Oak The Signature, 43%Finely ground spice, vanilla sponge cake, light honey, and brown sugar cubes … Leaves a long aftertaste, like a light-hearted pillow fight between the vanilla cream and the fading spices.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · March 2021
Entered as Kaiyo Whisky The SignatureThis easy sipper is pure honey, landing lightly with a brush of ginger heat and an echo of smoke, which grows bigger with repeated sips. Adding water brings out a bit more spice and a buttery texture.
