Description

The Karuizawa Acclaim Collection - Release 2023 is a limited edition three-bottle set of rare 1999 and 2000 vintage Karuizawa single malt whiskies. This collection is a collaboration between Dekanta and artist David Stanley Hewett, with bottles designed to resemble kimonos and housed in a Wajima Lacquerware cabinet adorned with 24-carat gold leafing. It celebrates the code of the Samurai and Japan's martial history, showcasing liquid from the last stocks of the original Karuizawa distillery, which ceased production in 2000.

Nose
Rich, dried fruits mingle with building oak, before subtle citrus cuts through the richness, with hints of peat smoke lingering in the background.
Palate
The gentle hints of smoke keep building alongside charred oak, juicy red berries and tannic notes imparted by the original sherry cask. This is all delivered with a creamy, full mouthfeel.
Finish
The finish is long and exquisite, with rich sherry notes, christmas cake and alcohol soaked sultanas lingering alongside a soft smokiness right up until your next sip.
