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 is the 7th batch of 'The Last Masterpieces' series, a collection of dual-vintage Karuizawa single malts (1999-2000) bottled by Eric Huang's Hua Yang International Exhibition Co. and matured in sherry butts.
