Bottled in Japan, Kaiyo "The Sheri" is crafted from 100% malted barley and undergoes initial aging in Oloroso and Pedro Ximinez Sherry casks before a finish in Mizunara oak. Kaiyo's master blender, with 15 years of expertise, created this expression for his daughters' weddings.
Don't get me wrong, this is delicious, but while the mizunara oak subtleties cannot match the intensity of the sherry influence on the nose, its flavor contribution to this multidimensional whisky is rather wonderful.
