Seahorse Minzunara Cask Japanese Whisky 750 ml

Seahorse Mizunara Cask Japanese Whisky is a blended Japanese whisky finished in mizunara oak, the rare Japanese oak prized for the incense-like sandalwood and spice notes it lends to spirit during maturation. Bottled at 750 ml and 80 proof, it opens with vanilla and light caramel before the mizunara wood asserts itself with sandalwood, dried spice, and a faint smokiness that lingers into a warm, slightly resinous finish. It’s a whisky built around wood character more than peat or age, and it rewards patience in the glass. Good for drinkers curious about mizunara’s effect on whisky rather than chasing a big age statement.

How to drink Seahorse Mizunara Cask Japanese Whisky

Pour it neat in a tulip glass and give it a few minutes to open up — the mizunara aromatics need air. A single large ice cube works if you want the wood spice to mellow, and it holds up fine in a simple highball with soda for a lighter, more sessionable pour.
