About This Whisky
Sherry butt #7975 gave this 28-year-old Karuizawa, one of four casks La Maison du Whisky picked for its Cocktail Series.
Each wore a cocktail-themed label, and Number One Drinks bottled them in 2012.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Brown sugar, almond biscuits, dates and fig bread, then tobacco and leather.
- Palate: Juicy and intense, with mint, pepper and sandalwood around apple and grapefruit.
- Finish: Medium length, with oak, fruity sweetness and a last hint of almond and incense.
Serving & Food
Serve it with a small jug of still water and add a little at a time. Almond cake or roast pigeon with figs suits it.

About the Distillery
Daikoku Budoshu, a wine company, built Karuizawa in 1955 at Miyota in Nagano, and the last spirit ran in 2000. It imported Golden Promise barley from Scotland, and the heavy, oily spirit spent long years in Spanish sherry casks.
