{"product_id":"kaiyo-japanese-the-kuri-no-1-chestnut","title":"Kaiyo 'The Kuri' No. 1 Chestnut Japanese Whisky","description":"\u003ch4\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaiyo \"The Kuri\" No. 1 is a pioneering Japanese malt whisky that explores the rare use of Japanese Chestnut (Kuri) wood for maturation. Part of the distillery’s \"Ariake Wood Collection,\" this expression is crafted from 100% malted barley. It is aged for seven years in first-fill Kuri barrels before undergoing the brand’s signature three-month ocean maturation voyage. This \"ocean aging\" subjects the barrels to constant movement and fluctuating temperatures, which enhances the interaction between the spirit and the unique chestnut wood, resulting in a profile that is distinctly softer and sweeter than traditional oak-aged whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhisky Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis whisky presents a bright amber-gold colour with faint chestnut hues. The nose is exceptionally vibrant and creamy, offering a bouquet of orange zest, lime juice, and white pear, underpinned by floral notes of lavender and a hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, the texture is luxuriously silky, delivering a complex array of flavours including vanilla shortbread, honey, persimmon, and kiwi. The Kuri wood imparts a delicate nuttiness and warming spices like clove and ground ginger without the heavy tannins associated with oak. The finish is long and refined, leaving a lingering sweetness of ripe raspberry and a gentle, incense-like woody warmth. It is bottled un-chill filtered at 46% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"300053 - David Herman \u0026 Son Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48349835133140,"sku":"861830","price":151.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/borderlinebottles.ca\/products\/kaiyo-japanese-the-kuri-no-1-chestnut","provider":"Borderline Bottles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
