Quercus crispula

The way I like to think about the Yamazaki 55 is...

Well, it's a blend of three different maturations or full maturation, including Mizunara.

So it's the oldest aged Mizunara expression of anything in the world, which I think is fascinating.

Mizunara can get really like sandalwoody and the way they integrated that into the final blend is phenomenal.

They did a really, really good job with it.

But it's, you know, we charge 7,000 for a pour.

We use lots of products have French oak.

We've had on the show some Mizunara, which is Japanese-

Mm-hmm

... uh, oak.

Always nice.

Yeah.

And so we did a show with the Mizunara, and that's where you get some- Kind of raisins, coconut kind of stuff that comes through.

In Guriana, I think it's a little like French oak.

It was like rum, these whatever, like port pipes or whatever they said, like some crazy stuff,

right? Mizunara, Four Roses, no, not

that.

No, initially I liked it, right? Initially I was like, oh, this is good because it's different.

That's what's fun about it.

But that's why we wanna come out with special things, like the Sekor and the Mizunara and those things because it is a limited thing, or in the Honey Hog.

Like, it's a limited thing, you get it, and you're one of only a couple thousand people that are gonna have it and nobody else will.

And that is the, the status that you look for.

Yeah.

We're going to go with like a whole Mizunara thing.

We've lucked into four different things.

samples that have mizunara and then all four different places and i think it should be fun i think our proof ranges are going to be about 104 to 118 so pretty evenly balanced there and

So just so we don't confuse people.

That's right.

Mizunara.

And I'll do a little quick dive.
