Presented in an exquisitely designed, individually numbered bottle and box, the Mizunara Founder’s Collection is a true masterpiece for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Named after Japan’s indigenous wood

Mizunara is a unique type of white oak. Mizu translates to water, while nara means oak. This luxurious wood grows in the northernmost island of Japan. Mizunara Oak is more porous and delicate than European or American Oak which means only the most-skilled master coopers can make barrels fit for aging fine whiskey. It takes between 200 and 500 years for this elusive oak tree to reach maturity. Only then is it ready to become a barrel.

OAKS OF TWO WORLDS

The Mizunara Founder’s Collection is a rare and refined expression, defined by its deep mahogany hue and rich character. Aged in new American Oak before its final maturation in Japanese Mizunara casks, this whiskey reveals a complex sensory journey - beginning with aromas of nutmeg, walnut, and leather, lifted by notes of mint, honey, and orange. The palate unfolds with layers of tobacco, custard, and banana, followed by floral tones and a lingering chocolate-cherry finish. Crafted for those who seek depth and elegance, this is not merely a whiskey - it’s a masterpiece of global influence and exceptional taste.
