Description

Released in October 2014, Chivas Regal Mizunara is a limited edition blended Scotch made with Japanese flair. Master Distiller Colin Scott was inspired to create this expression after a trip to Japan where he picked up a few whisky-making techniques. It's made with a blend of Scottish grain and malt whiskies, each aged at least 12 years. Part of the blend is aged in casks made from Mizunara (aka Japanese oak). Bottled at 40% ABV, it was intended for the Japanese market so availability may be limited elsewhere. TASTING NOTES:Nose: White peach, toffee-coated pears and vanilla-rich cream. Subtly nutty. Palate: Floral and sweet, though hints of baking spices bring balance and body. Finish: Still packed with fruit, with a hint of aniseed hiding within.
