Kaiyo

Kaiyo is a brand of whisky that was established in 2016. The brand has its origins in Japan, where the whisky is distilled and matured. Kaiyo takes a unique approach to whisky production by utilizing the sea voyage aging technique. After the whisky is distilled in Japan, it is then placed in Mizunara oak casks and loaded onto ships that sail around the world. The constant motion and exposure to the sea air during the voyage contribute to the maturation process, resulting in a distinct flavor profile. Kaiyo produces a range of whisky styles, including single malt and blended whisky. The brand is known for its smooth and complex flavors, with notes of tropical fruits, spices, and oak. One interesting fact about Kaiyo is that the brand takes inspiration from the historical practice of whisky trading between Scotland and Japan.
