Whiskys from single barrels distilled between 1971 and 1974 are included throughout the whole series. Bottled in 2020 at 65.7% alcohol strength, this edition is from cask #1602, which was distilled in 1971 and matured in Sherry Butt.

The Karuizawa Distillery Special Edition Showa Golden Age: Although Japan’s Showa period, which spanned from 1926 to 1989, was marked by many ups and downs, socially and culturally it was a pleasant time marked by inclusivity, tolerance, and mutual support, particularly in the 1970s, as remembered by the Japanese people. They’ll never forget the “Golden Age” nevertheless. This golden period serves as the basis for the Karuizawa series. Out of the Karuizawa wine barrels that were distilled in the 1970s, five barrels are chosen. Comprising a package of excellent “Showa Golden Age” wines, the bottle has an exquisite and opulent gold leaf wine label.
