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 particular release, the 3rd Batch of 'The Last Masterpieces in Eight Colours' series, was distilled in 1999-2000 and matured in a Sherry Butt. It was bottled by Taiwanese import and distribution company Hua Yang International Exhibition Co. at a natural cask strength of 51.8% without chill filtration. The bottle is packaged in green and features calligraphy by renowned Japanese calligrapher Souun Takeda.
