Kaiyo Whisky is very intriguing indeed, starting out as a teaspooned malt (with the bulk of the malt whisky coming from one distillery, along with a drop of malt whisky from another distillery, meaning it can't be called a single malt). It's matured in mizunara oak - mizunara can impart a wonderful array of flavours to the whisky, though its notoriously difficult for coopers to work with. Not only that, it spends a portion of its maturation at sea, helping to evolve its flavour profile further.
Orange peel, jasmine, a hint of coastal air, soft cedar.
Coffee bean, green apple, black tea and alpine herbs.
Cinnamon rolls and mango.

Over priced for the flavor. I visited the website...first whisky site I’d ever been on where there was not one photo of the distillery. I smell more then cedar and pine!
Cedar, pine, and incense on the nose. Smells young, a bit hot. Palate is more cedar, more incense, tea-like savoriness. Finish is quick, with a final whiff of cedar/pine and young spirit coming through. Very good, very unique. Incredibly enjoyable. Close your eyes and it will whisk you away.
