Kaiyo the 1er Grand Cru 10 year 700ml
About this bottle
This is a 10 year old expression from Kaiyo, the Japanese whisky brand known for aging and finishing its whisky using mizunara oak and, in some releases, a maritime aging process that exposes barrels to ocean conditions. Kaiyo's house style tends toward a lighter, more delicate profile than a typical Scotch or bourbon, with soft wood spice, dried fruit, and a faint brine or salinity in some expressions. Kaiyo doesn't distill its own whisky — it sources and finishes it — so the character comes primarily from the maturation and blending process rather than the original distillate.
How to drink Kaiyo 10 Year
Neat or with a few drops of water is the way to catch Kaiyo's characteristic softness — its lighter style gets lost quickly under ice or in a mixed drink.
