Glengoyne Mizunara Oak is a limited release Scotch known for its unique maturation in rare Mizunara oak casks from Japan.
Mizunara oak is revered within the world of whisky but is notoriously difficult to work with. Known for its tight grain, porous nature, and demanding conditions, it makes up less than 1% of the casks used by Suntory. Its scarcity alone sets it apart, but its contribution to flavor is what makes it legendary. Over a quarter century of aging, Mizunara casks impart complex and layered notes that are impossible to replicate with other oak varieties.
