Description
Mizunara Casks are prestigious for several reasons:
- Time – It takes Mizunara trees at least 200 years to straighten and offer sufficient length between knots to make the full length of a cask stave.
- Unmatched quality – Mizunara Oak’s tight grain and highly porous structure give the tree the nickname ‘Water Oak’. This natural phenomenon allows the maturing whisky to draw complex flavours from deep within the cask staves.
- Rarity – Mizunara Oak casks remain incredibly scarce and have previously only been available through closed competitive auction. A limited few are now available here at Annandale Distillery.
