Kaiyo The Kuri Japanese Whisky

Kaiyo The Kuri Japanese WhiskyThis unique bottling from Kaiyo is one of the first of its kind a whisky aged full term in first fill Japanese "Kuri" chestnut barrels. After 7 years of aging in Japan, the barrels go to sea for 3 months, as all of Kaiyo's whiskies do. It is then taken back to Japan and bottled at 46% abv. The Kuri opens with drying wood notes, with an incense like spice. Fragrant notes of lavender are balanced by raisin and eucalyptus. The finish is long with hints

mahogany color and buttery palate

dates & figs with liquorice

It is uniquely different from other Dominican rums because it is made from the fermented juice of sugar cane and not from molasses

The palate is smooth caramel and toffee notes paired with toasted oak and light leather

always with the subtle complexity for which basil hayden is known and loved

with just a touch of heat
