"Kaiyo pushes the boat out once again with a whisky fully matured in Japanese chestnut casks for more than 7 years. A fruity and creamy nose with aromas of orange zest, lime juice, peppery spice, and white pear. Soft caressing fruits on the palate, this showcases flavors of vanilla, shortbread, citrus, and cream, then hits lime and orange, kiwi, persimmon, honey, clove, and ground ginger. Rich, fruity, and luxuriously tasty." (4,650 bottles for the U.S.)
