Description:
The winner of the World’s Best Irish Whiskey is the first Irish Whiskey with a Japanese mizunara finish.
Extremely rare and expensive, virgin mizunara oak, comes from the rugged most northerly island of Japan, Hokkaido. It is coopered 1,000 miles south in Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan's only independent cooperage, by Japan's oldest cooper.
Mizunara amplifies the vanilla smoothness, bringing apricot, marmalade and sandalwood notes to a long milk chocolate finish.
Mizunara oak is one of the rarest woods used in whiskey production on the planet. It’s hugely popular among whiskey drinkers for its delicate yet complex flavour profile, but its route to bottle couldn’t be more complicated. Expensive, labour intensive and unpredictable, its use in the production of maturation casks is considered one of the greatest luxuries in oak wood.
Kevin Keenan, one of the founders of Glendalough Distillery, travelled to the Japanese island of Hokkaido to select the casks for this release. He was in search of flavour and the very best materials to work with.
