Kaiyō Japanese Mizunara Oak

A bit smoky, not my fav

Light wood and cereal aroma. I'm getting the same banana notes that Chivas regal mizunara gave me, I wonder if that's just what mizunara wood tastes like to me. Pretty creamy, light flavors but blended nicely. Sugar cane sweetness, pretty heavy vanilla, fairly long tail from the richness. Interesting and well blended, but that banana note will just never be for me.
