Inspired by the Japanese discernment and art integrated with the world of whisky, Master Blender Sandy Hyslop travelled to Japan to seek out the best Mizunara oak casks. Following visits to a Japanese cooperage and meeting with the Master Cooper, they together agreed the exact specification of the casks and built a relationship that stands strong today.
The porous nature of Mizunara oak results in a greater influence of flavour from the cask, meaning a wonderfully indulgent effect on our classic house blended Scotch whisky. The casks bring a range of gentle aromatic flavours to the blend, finished with a touch of spice. With a distinctive flavour that leaves a trace of hazelnut, Chivas Mizunara is a truly unique blend.

Among blenders, Mizunara oak casks are highly respected for two main reasons. The first is that they are incredibly rare, and the second is that, once sourced, they present complex challenges for ageing whisky. However, if the process is mastered, the resulting whisky is truly unique, as showcased by Chivas Regal Mizunara.
Mizunara oak trees, which are indigenous to Japan, are rare and renowned for their porous nature. Such traits require expert maturation and blending skills to craft a well-rounded and balanced whisky.
Every single Mizunara oak cask is individually nosed upon arrival in Scotland, before being filled by the expert blending team with a bespoke blend.
