Description

The mountain town of Karuizawa is situated on a high plain at the base of active volcano, Mount Asama, in the heart of Japan's mainland. In 1956, the wine and spirits giant, Daikoku Budoshu, expanded their already established empire there by building a distillery with the onus of producing a single malt to be utilised in the company's blends. They christened it 'Ocean'. 1958 saw a freer importatio ... This rare bottle of vintage sherry-matured Karuizawa was released by UK-based Number One Drinks Company. It was a joint bottling between The Whisky Exchange and Japanese company Shinanoya.

Nose
Delicate and impressive depth on the nose, with aromas of dark dried fruits, sherry-soaked raisins, polished oak, incense and exotic spice, layered with subtle notes of leather and cocoa.
Palate
Extremely rich and very balanced in flavour, powerful yet refined, unfolding complex flavors of black cherry, fig, dark chocolate, espresso, clove and rich oak tannins, beautifully balanced through long maturation.
Finish
Very smooth and long, extraordinarily long and profound, leaving lingering impressions of spice, dark fruit and elegant wood.
