A bottle from Number One Drinks Company which, being the Japanophile company that it is, released a series of outstanding Karuizawa bottles. This 28 year old bottle is an original bottling of 1984 that is matured in a sherry butt cask and bottled in 2012. Known as the legendary distillery, Karuizawa shut down back in 2000, when demand for whisky was plummeting in Japan. No one knew then of the huge Japanese whisky boom on the horizon. Karuizawa whisky has been in highest demand during this boom, with its single cask bottlings selling for some of the largest price tags the global whisky world has ever seen. Karuizawa is synonymous with quality, luxury, and rarity.
