The Rare and Unique to Japan Japanese Mizunara Oak:

Mizunara oak, one of the rarest and most expensive types of oak in the world. Its story is deeply rooted in Japanese history. During World War II, Japan was economically blocked by various countries and could not import oak barrels. At the end of the war, Japan soon faced shortages of imported casks, so whisky makers had to begin to use the native oak, Mizunara.

The uniqueness of Mizunara oak is that it takes 200 to 500 years for the plant itself to be made as wooden barrels. It can blend with other flavors well, and offer offers complex notes of sandalwood, coconut, spice and Japanese incense, displaying the refinement of oriental flavour with powerful yet velvet mouthfeel.
