About This Whisky
A vatting of Karuizawa single malt distilled across five decades, from 1960 to 2000, bottled at 61.0% in an edition of 200 bottles.
Most Karuizawa was sold cask by cask, so a vatting like this is the exception.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dark sherry and dried fruit, with incense, old oak, cocoa and a trace of smoke.
- Palate: Full and layered.
- Finish: Long and warming, with dried fruit and wood spice.
Serving & Food
Taste it neat, then with a little water, since the older and younger parts show differently. Try it with Manchego and membrillo.
Good to Know

About the Distillery
Daikoku Budoshu, later Mercian, built Karuizawa below Mount Asama in 1955, and it ran for 45 years until 2000. Kirin took over Mercian in 2006 and sold the remaining casks to Number One Drinks in 2011.
