Description

A legendary name in Japanese whisky that developed significant cult status due to many exceptional releases of its whisky following its closure in 2000. The original distillery was dismantled in 2016, however a new one was built 7 miles away in the town of Karuizawa, commencing production in 2023. This limited bottling consists of multi-vintage Cask Strength Karuizawa from the distillery's final years of production, distilled in 1999-2000 and bottled in 2015.

Nose
Very pleasant and lovely aromas, with great elegance and charm. Notes of ripe Honeycrisp apples, apple pie with vanilla ice cream, butterscotch, and cherry jam.

Extremely rich and very balanced in flavour, with medium viscosity. Features cinnamon apples, stewed ginger, rancio, old leather bound books, a touch of dark chocolate bitterness, unburnt tobacco, leafiness, and balanced confit plums.
Finish
Long and elegant, with a lasting aftertaste. Fading ginger, baked apples, gentle malt, complex rancio fade, and gentle dark chocolate towards the end.
