With respect to your question the following. When tasting and (especially) nosing whisky that (partly) matured in Mizunara wood you immediately notice the difference when compared to whisky finished in American or European Oak. It's not so easy to exactly pinpoint the tones but think in terms of polished sandal wood, wood polish and (coco) nuts. They are not so clear in the Chivas Regal of course as they are over shadowed by the Grain Whisky. But I would imagine that a Bowmore matured in Mizunara wood would be something really special , like sitting on the beach on Islay in a comfortable freshly polished leather chair. Cheers, Jan.

I was really looking forward to this re...Dear Jan,<br /><br />I was really looking forward to this review because of the Mizunara finish. <br /><br />There was this extremely rare and expensive Bowmore from Mizunara casks lately, which is absolutely unaffordable for me but was rather celebrated in some whisky blogs.<br /><br />Hence, I was interested in your opinion about Mizunara finish in this case and you write that "The Mizunara tones are quite clear...", but I would like to ask you to ellobate a bit more on these Mizunara tones as I did not really understand what these tone exactly are respectively where you actually able to pin them down? So what do you think comes especially from the Mizunara oak in this Chivas blend?<br /><br />All the best and thank you very much<br />BjörnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
