More information Chivas Regal Mizunara 12 Year Reserve Whisky
For those who have always harboured an interest in the Japanese culture, the Chivas Regal Mizunara will undoubtedly pique the interest.
Mizunara is a type of oak native and unique to Hokkaido, Japan, particularly known for its high moisture content.
The oak is a portmanteau of Mizu and Nara. Mizu in the Japanese language means water, while Nara means oak.
Due to its rarity, Mizunara commands a significantly higher market price compared to other typical oak casks used in whisky maturation.
It is also rich in vanillin, an organic and primary compound that forms vanilla.
Coupled with the fact that in Japan, where traditions dictate that Mizunara can only be made into casks if the oak itself is at least 200 years old, the union between the Chivas house, which is famous for its generous flavour profile, and the revered Japanese oak takes whisky connoisseurs on a sensual journey that will surely delight both the palate and the olfaction.
For those who have always harboured an interest in the Japanese culture, the Chivas Regal Mizunara will undoubtedly pique the interest, as Chivas Regal master blender Colin Scott was inspired to create an unprecedented Scotch whisky that would endear itself to the Japanese palate after a tour of Japan.
