These incredible bottlings were created by carefully marrying top quality sherry
and bourbon cask matured whisky from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s to
create rich yet balanced expressions that showcase exquisite whisky from one of
the world’s greatest ever distilleries.
Inspired Design & Unrivaled Taste
The two bottles feature stunning artwork that honor the crane
and the sea turtle, both of which have deep cultural significance
in Japan.
The Crane is a symbol of good fortune, longevity, and fidelity.
Known as the “bird of happiness,” it is believed to live for a
thousand years, making it a powerful emblem of a long and
prosperous life. Cranes are often depicted in art, origami, and
ceremonies, where they serve as talismans to bring health,
happiness, and success.
This bottle was created by blending Karuizawa Single Malt
Whisky from across the five decades that had solely been
matured in sherry casks. It brings rich, fruity and spicy notes to
your nose and palate, including sticky dates, dried red berries,
deep oak and subtle black pepper, before delivering a long
finish that will last right up until your next sip. It comes in at
59.5% and is limited to just 158 bottles.
The Turtle is a symbol of longevity, stability, and endurance. It is
often associated with good fortune and a long life. The Turtle
is also believed to bring protection and is seen as a guardian spirit.
In art and folklore, The Turtle is frequently depicted alongside
The Crane, to represent a harmonious and enduring life. The
presence of a Turtle in various forms, such as sculptures or
paintings, is considered a positive omen.
This bottle was also crafted by blending Karuizawa Single
Malt Whisky from across the five decades, however this
bottling includes both sherry matured and bourbon matured
whisky. It brings elegant notes of sliced apple, red berries
and subtle citrus on the nose, before the palate arrives with
toffee apples, charred oak, brown sugar and hints of pear.
Much like The Crane bottle, it delivers a long and moreish
finish. It comes in at 54.2% and is limited to just 158 bottles.
Both bottles come in a stunning wooden box, carefully
crafted to display the whisky in all of its glory.
