The Sea Dragon Decanter
Ryūjin is the revered sea-dragon deity of Japanese myth — patron of the ocean, symbol of power and fortune — and this bottling is a cultural homage as much as a spirit. The decanter itself is the centerpiece: a dragon sculpted in glass, while the whisky inside carries Mizunara's incense-like spice that no other oak can give.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Delicate florals, vanilla, and sandalwood (retailer notes).
Palate: Smooth and light — honeyed sweetness, hints of pear and white spice.
Finish: Lingering Mizunara oak spice with a whisper of incense.
How to Enjoy
Neat at room temperature to keep the Mizunara nuance intact, or over a single large cube. The decanter makes it a standout gift — no wrapping needed.
