Description

A legend of the whisky world, the Karuizawa distillery was in operation between 1955 and 2001, and so their bottles have become quite the collector`s item for whisky enthusiasts. This vintage single malt was bottled in 2012, after maturing in a sherry cask for 28 years. The resulting whisky is incredibly nuanced, packed with seductive flavours of fruits, spices and dark chocolate.

About this whisky

This exquisite single malt whisky from the closed Karuizawa Distillery spent 28 years maturing in a sherry cask, resulting in a deep, richly flavored, and complex spirit. Layers of dried fruits, rich spice, dark chocolate, and hints of oak, with a long, complex finish.

Sherry Cask

The Sherry Cask collection from Karuizawa features single malt whiskies aged exclusively in sherry casks. These releases are renowned for their rich, complex flavor profiles, with deep fruit, spice, and oak notes.

Karuizawa

Karuizawa Distillery was a small-scale whisky production facility, known for its premium and highly sought-after single malt whiskies. Located in Miyota, Japan, at the foot of an active volcano (Mount Asama), it was one of Japan's highest altitude distilleries. This unique location contributed to the distinct flavor profile of Karuizawa whisky.
