Due to the scarcity of Mizunara oak, the release is limited to just 2,900 bottles globally.

Master Distiller Billy Walker is celebrated for his peerless wood management capabilities. This flavourful single malt unites some of the most spectacular casks in our enviable inventory.

A rare species of Japanese oak, Mizunara is seldom used for whisky maturation due to its high cost and inclination to leak. The exceptional Mizunara barrels, combined with superior Oloroso puncheons and hogsheads, have created an incredibly indulgent and complex single malt.

We proudly present this Masters of Wood bottling at 50% ABV, natural colour and non-chill filtered, allowing its exceptional character to reign supreme.

“Im incredibly proud to release myfirst ever Mizunara virgin oak finished whisky; a cask type that has of course been on my radar to experiment with, not deterred by its undeniable challenges! I was confident that it would perfectly complement the bold nature of The GlenAllachie, and were delighted with the outcome. A very proud moment for a special personal milestone.” – Billy Walker, Master Distiller.

Tasting notes:

Nose: Heather honey, dried orange peel and crystalised ginger, with notes of cocoa, toasted tobacco leaves and fresh vanilla pods.

Taste: Baking spices, dried blood orange and grilled honeycomb, followed by bursts of rich cocoa, poached cinnamon apples and fig syrup, with pecans and demerara sugar.

“It feels a touch ‘recipe-based’, but isnt that often the case with Michelin-starred dishes as well? A definite success, Id say. Ah, mizunara” – Serge, Whisky Fun (88 Points)
