Mizunara Oak Chips (Japan) 100g

Introducing our Mizunara Oak Chips, an exquisite addition to elevate your whiskey. Sourced from the revered Mizunara or Japanese Oak, these chips undergo a meticulous roasting process at 374°F, unveiling a rich and distinctive flavor profile.

If there is a bottle in your collection that needed more time in a barrel, add five grams of our oak chips and taste the spirit after one week. There is no recipe for how many chips to use. More chips equals more flavor faster. They give about 25% of their flavor in the first week and 50% within the first month.

Imported directly from Japan's exclusive cooperage, our Mizunara Oak Chips are a rare treasure. Sustainably harvested from endangered Mizunara trees in the pristine landscapes of Northern Japan's Hokkaido prefecture, each tree reaches an impressive 200 years of age before being carefully selected for harvest. This stringent criterion ensures that only the largest trees, capable of producing straight wood suitable for crafting barrel staves, are chosen. Our wood chips make use of every ounce of this delicious wood.

What sets Mizunara Oak apart is not only its scarcity but also the unique character it imparts to spirits. Known for its complex and aromatic qualities, Mizunara-aged whiskeys often boast notes of sandalwood, vanilla, coconut, and a subtle spiciness that adds layers of depth to every sip.

Imbue your spirits with the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and heritage, as this wood tells a story of centuries-old trees and the artistry involved in their preparation.

Elevate your distilling or aging process with Mizunara Oak Chips – a testament to your dedication to quality, tradition, and the pursuit of exceptional flavor. Explore the unparalleled richness that Mizunara Oak brings to your spirits, and let your creations stand out with an unparalleled, sophisticated charm.

Each of our boxes is hand printed and the color of the lid may change, but the same delicious wood is always inside.
