This is the first-ever official Islay single malt Scotch to be finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks. Only 2,000 bottles of this east-meet-west collaboration were produced, since precious few Mizunara oak casks are built, and allotted exclusively for Japanese malts. The whisky in the bottle was selected from casks containing Bowmore Scotch aged 12 - 18 years, finished in the new Mizunara barrels for a few months. It is bottled at cask-strength.
