Kaiyo “The Kuri” Japanese Chestnut Wood Whiskey No.1 is a truly unique and pioneering expression that explores one of the rarest forms of whisky maturation in the world. Crafted by Kaiyo Whisky, this release is exclusively aged in kuri (Japanese chestnut) wood barrels — making it one of the only whiskies globally to showcase this distinctive cask influence.

Made from Japanese malted barley distillate, The Kuri reflects Kaiyo’s dedication to wood innovation and maturation techniques. The chestnut wood imparts a character that differs from traditional oak, delivering a softer, sweeter, and subtly spiced profile with a unique textural richness. Enhanced by Kaiyo’s signature ocean maturation journey, this whisky develops additional complexity shaped by sea air, movement, and climate. Awarded 91 points by Whisky Advocate, The Kuri stands as a rare and collectible expression for adventurous whisky enthusiasts.
