Dark Arts Barely Toasted Mizunara Bourbon

Tasting Notes

Dark Arts Mizunara Bourbon is a fascinating experiment, blending Kentucky bourbon tradition with the mystique of Japanese oak. The high-rye mashbill (64% corn, 24% rye, 12% malted barley) lays a solid foundation of spice and sweetness, but the toasted Mizunara staves are where the magic happens. Expect a nose dancing with butterscotch, sandalwood, and a hint of dried fruit. The palate unfolds with snickerdoodle, gingerbread, and a surprising zest of lemon. The finish is long and luxurious, with sugar cookie dough, warm spices, and whispers of toffee. It's a complex, balanced bourbon, where the exotic Mizunara oak adds an intriguing layer of spice and depth that elevates it beyond the ordinary.
