Broken Barrel Maple Mizunara Straight American Whiskey 750 ml

Broken Barrel Maple Mizunara is a straight American whiskey finished with Mizunara oak, the rare Japanese oak prized in whisky finishing for the incense, sandalwood, and coconut notes it imparts, layered here alongside a maple influence. Broken Barrel is known for using multiple wood-finishing techniques within a single release rather than relying on a standard bourbon or rye mash bill alone. Expect a warm amber color, with maple, vanilla, and a distinct sandalwood-and-spice note from the Mizunara on the nose, leading into a rich, slightly sweet palate with oak spice and a long, aromatic finish. An interesting pick for whiskey drinkers who have already tried standard wine- or sherry-finished bourbons and want something less common.

How to drink Broken Barrel Maple Mizunara

Neat is the way to experience the Mizunara character fully; the sandalwood notes are subtle and a mixer will bury them. One rock is fine if you want it slightly cooler.
