Matured in Japanese Mizunara Oak for 5 years and then transferred to Knob Creek Rye Whiskey barrels for another 5 years, The Rye 10yr is a robust and flavorful whisky that showcases the depth of sweet and spice notes found in both barrels.

Made from Japanese distillate (malted barley), Kaiyo Whisky is known for its extensive use of Japanese Mizunara Oak to mature its whiskies in varying degrees, from full-term maturations to finishes. Our pioneering research into the effect of wood selection on whisky maturation has led to the development of bespoke barrels, crafted from slow growth, air-seasoned wood from hand-selected trees. Created by the Ariake Cooperage, these casks are handmade due to Mizunara oaks delicate wood grain. Meaning ocean, Kaiyo Whisky embarks on a journey through the seas from Osaka, Japan which lasts up to three months. The result of the sea voyage and maturation is our whiskys distinct chronicle of its journey. Just as no two stories are identical, neither is each sea voyage with factors including the motion of the seas waves, temperature changes, and variations of weather and air pressure all contributing to the whiskys aging effect, and ultimately leading to a truly unique whisky.
