Description

About Kaiyo Mizunara Oak Aged Cask Strength Whisky

A creative exploration of flavour through sherry casks
Created by The Lakes Distillery (located on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake in the Lake District), the Whiskymaker’s Editions series showcases their more adventurous single malt releases. Infinity is one of these — described as “a whisky that offers a unique experience with layer upon layer of continuously changing aromas and flavours”.

Key Details:

• ABV: 52 %

• Volume: 70 cl

• Maturation: A blend of high-quality sherry-butts: Oloroso, Palo Cortado seasoned American oak casks, Fino and Manzanilla.

• Style: Natural colour, non-chill filtered — ensuring full flavour character.

• Tasting Profile (from retailers & reviews):

  • Nose: incense sticks, musk, toasted rye bread, polished oak.

  • Palate: spices, dates, treacle, cocoa nibs, dried forest fruits.

  • Finish: Long, evolving, with multiple flavour dimensions.

Why it stands out:

• A fine example of English single malt pushing the boundaries of style, thanks to its ambitious cask selection and intense ABV.

• The sherry-butt driven maturation offers rich, dessert-style notes and depth — ideal for those who enjoy full-flavour whisky rather than light, delicate styles.

• Limited edition nature and craft provenance (Cumbria, UK) add collectibility and conversation-piece value.

Serving & Enjoyment Tips:

• Serve neat, in a tulip-shaped whisky glass to appreciate the layers of aroma and flavour.

• Add a few drops of water to open up subtle spice and dried fruit notes, if desired.

• Pair with rich dark chocolate, nut-based desserts, blue-veined cheese, or as a contemplative after-dinner dram.

• Store upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight or strong odours; being non-vintage and crafted style-forward, it is best enjoyed within a reasonable period after opening.
