NV Kaiyo, The Rubi, First Edition (46%)

The nose on this mizunara oak-finished blended malt is delicate, with aromas of black currant, dried strawberry, cherry lips, and ground black pepper. The palate opens with milk chocolate, dried cranberry, strawberry, plum skin, and candied orange, shifting to a greater oak influence with clove, mint, eucalyptus, and oak spices. A wide range of flavor on offer makes this a sophisticated pour for the last dram of the night. (3,200 bottles for the U.S.)
