Zamanian sourced casks from a small family-owned cooperage in Japan and finished the bourbon in them for about a year. They are made from Mizunara, Japan's indigenous oak, which grows on the northern island of Hokkaido. The name comes from \"mizu\" (water) and \"nara\" (oak), and the wood is among the most elusive and sought-after in whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistillery: Rabbit Hole Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAging: 15 years in charred American oak, finished in new Japanese Mizunara oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Founder's Collection, limited release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABV: 57.1% (114.2 Proof), cask strength, non-chill filtered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: Banana, baked apple, pear, and cherry, with sweet oak, vanilla, black pepper, mint, and sandalwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Caramel, toasted oak, and brown sugar, with nutmeg, cinnamon, tobacco leaf, ripe stone fruit, and dark cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Long and buttery, with cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, toasted oak, mint, and a lingering Mizunara incense note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMizunara is known for delicate sandalwood and incense character, and here it sits alongside 15 years of classic bourbon depth without dominating it.
