Hatozaki Omakase Rye is the third limited edition of the “Omakase Collection” – a Japanese cooking concept where the “chef”, in this case our Master Blender, decides on the recipe to surprise and delight his audience.  For his newest expression, Kimio Yonazawa reveals a rye whisky blend aged in new charred oak and crafted in small batches.  Then for the signature finish: maturation in traditional Mizunara oak casks.  This rare Japanese oak is sourced from the Hokkaido and Tohoku forests.  The end result is a fruity, dry, and spicy whisky that is not colored and unchill filtered to preserve its full character.
