An incredibly special Karuizawa single malt whisky that was distilled in 1981 and matured in a single bourbon cask for a whole 35 years before bottling. The results are a world beating expression that holds deep notes of cirtus, charred oak, cinnamon spice, vanilla and much more to the table, just waiting to be explored. It features elegant artwork on the label and with only 367 bottles produced, it's highly collectible. Karuizawa is the pinnacle of old and rare Japanese whisky and this one is up there with the best of them.

Tasting Notes

On the Nose

Ripe tropical fruit (mango, papaya) with charred oak, vanilla cream, and warm spice. 

On the Palate

Big, rich bourbon-influence: vanilla, cinnamon, toasted oak, candied citrus and underlying oak char. 

The Finish

Long and warming, lingering vanilla, gentle spice, and oak char fade into sweet citrus peel.
