Mix whiskey with Japanese mystique. It is something that may sound strange, but it has several reasons: to achieve something unique. Chivas, a renowned whiskey brand, knows this very well, and presents a Mizunara edition.
As there are few Mizunara oaks available in Japan, this type of wood is extremely scarce and exclusive, since to make a barrel, the oak must be 200 years old, costing 4 times more than a sherry barrel. .
The porous nature of Mizunara oak provides a subtle spicy flavor to the whiskey, resulting in a high-class liquor that is positioned among the most coveted among consumers and collectors.
The impact of Japanese oak
The production process of Chivas Mizunara is highly artisanal and meticulous, since it maintains its Scottish roots as it is a mixture of the best malt and grain whiskeys that provide fruity, pear and orange notes in its aroma, while maintaining a soft sweet honey and trace of hazelnut.
Its selective finishing in Mizunara Japanese oak barrels gives it a subtle, but distinctive spicy finish, which turns out to be the perfect fusion with the softness and generosity of its perfectly balanced flavor, characteristic of Chivas Regal.
Adriel Labbé, Marketing Director of Pernod Ricard Cono Sur, comments that “among master blenders, Mizunara oak barrels are highly respected for being incredibly unique and for presenting complex challenges for aging whiskey.”
“The porous nature of oak causes a greater influence of aromas and flavors from the barrels, which means that the quality of each batch must be meticulously and individually evaluated. However, if this process is mastered, the result of the whiskey is truly unique, as demonstrated by Chivas Mizunara. “This new experience within the Chivas Regal range is a truly distinctive blend of luxury,” he adds. This wonder that mixes two cultures is now available in Chile.
