Kaiyo is a negociant bottler started by a drinks group led by former Asahi employee Mr. Watanabe, who was able to purchase “teaspooned” malt whisky barrels from an unnamed Japanese supplier thanks to his connections in the industry (“teaspooning” occurs when a distiller adds a teaspoon of another whisky into the barrel before selling it, thus preventing the purchaser from claiming it as a single malt from that distillery). The Kaiyo whiskies are then aged in Mizunara oak from Ariake, considered one of the best manufacturers in the world. The oak-ageing process takes place partly in Japan and partly at sea, being ocean-matured. The Mizunara oak imparts exotic flavors of incense, sandalwood and coconut, with faint notes of tea and orange peel on the nose. The whisky is very Japanese in its restraint, graceful from front to back without any serious peaks or valleys.
