EXPERIMENTAL GREEN TEA TRILOGY

  • DESCRIPTION
  • TASTING NOTES
  • CASKS

Kaizen is a trilogy about Swedish whisky and Japanese tea. A fusion of craftsmanship and passion from different continents.

The expressions have been aged in ex-bourbon casks saturated with exclusive Japanese tea – resulting in three complex whiskies with untraditional tasting notes. 

Kaizen 03: Limited to 2101 bottles. 

Nose: The nose is sweet with both fruit sweetness and vanilla. Apricot and mango harmonize with vanilla fudge. There is a certain sweet citrus present, as well as hints of pine resin and licorice.

Taste: The taste is fresher than the nose with more pronounced citrus and herbal notes, but the fruitiness and vanilla are still present. Slightly bitter tea and nut tones land deep in the taste.

Aftertaste: The aftertaste is crisp and medium-length with a mild tea character. A nutty undertone complements the distinct herbal tones nicely. Far into the finish, the tropical fruits make a comeback.

Kaizen 03 - Hojicha

Hojicha is a roasted green tea from Japan characterized by its deep color, nutty flavor, and sugary sweetness.

A rich and profound tea that, when paired with whisky, evokes thoughts of new oak casks. The roasted notes from the tea complement the whisky, creating a deep, sweet, and balanced character together.

But don't be deceived by its gentle first impression; the finish is spicy and mineral-rich.


Exclusive Japanese Green Tea 

Mackmyra's tea infusions are unique. We have allowed various green teas to macerate in Oloroso, which, after straining, has been used to season casks.

The matured whisky dates back to 2013, and the tea cask finishing lasted for two years and nine months.

All releases in this mini-series are 'single tea,' a characteristic that is distinctly reflected in the widely diverse flavor profiles of each edition.
