The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Four Gate Whiskey Company finishes this release in Japanese Mizunara oak, a native Japanese tree that grows in smaller, twisted trunks rather than the tall, straight timber typical of American white oak. That unusual grain structure makes mizunara notoriously difficult to work with — and prized for the exotic character it brings to whiskey.
Mizunara-finished whiskey is famous for developing distinct notes of sandalwood, incense and coconut alongside its base bourbon sweetness, along with a silky texture that's become a hallmark of the wood. Expect layered aromatics and a finish that lingers with warm, exotic spice.
This is a sipping whiskey through and through, best enjoyed neat in a proper glass to appreciate its rare finishing wood. It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, dried fruit or a quiet evening with nothing else competing for attention.
Order this Mizunara oak-finished whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop for a taste of one of the rarest finishing woods in the world.

Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
