About This Whisky
A 1984 Karuizawa from sherry butt #3186, bottled in 2012 for the Taiwanese retailer P9 under a geisha label. It was filled at 58.0% into 540 bottles.
By 2012 Karuizawa had a keen following in Taiwan, and several local shops and clubs bottled their own casks. P9 chose this one and gave it a geisha label of its own.

About the Distillery
Karuizawa's kit was small by any measure. It was the smallest distillery in Japan, working with four small copper pot stills, and its spirit came off heavy and oily.
