Description

Mizunara is a rare variety of oak from Japan used to create barrels mostly used for aging Japanese whiskies. To create Park Borderies Mizunara, we employ a unique barrel finish to a beautiful blend Single cru cognac from the Tessendier family estate in the esteemed Borderies growing region. These blends spend at least four years in lightly toasted oak, followed by six months in Mizunara oak casks. The Mizunara cask finish brings intensity and depth, conferring notes of vanilla, cocoa, and spice. These rich notes meld seamlessly with the lighter, floral character of the Borderies cognacs. Produced in limited editions due to the difficulty of obtaining Mizunara casks, this cognac will definitely appeal to the whiskey palate, but it will be collectors who want to add to their collection.
