Now, whisky aficionados in Malaysia will be able to experience the unique taste of Chivas Regal Mizunara – which will be available in limited quantities in selected outlets!

The process of crafting Chivas Regal Mizunara is highly bespoke, involving the introduction of Mizunara oak casks to the finishing process. These casks, crafted from trees indigenous to Japan, are extremely scarce, and renowned for their distinctive porous nature – making whiskies finished in Mizunara casks some of the most coveted amongst whisky blenders and collectors.

Now we have an instance of paying homage the other way around, a blend inspired with a Japanese influence.
