Description

An 8 year old whisky from the Karuizawa distillery, this is a very rare bottling for the Japanese market. This discontinued pure malt whisky was aged in Sherry Butt for 8 years and is considered a collector's item. Only select malt whiskies aged at least 8 years were blended together, resulting in an incredibly round and mild flavor.
