Description

Also called "The Black Fuji," the label for this fourth release features the panel Rainstorm Beneath the Summit. This is a legendary Japanese whisky from the now-closed Karuizawa distillery, which developed significant cult status due to its exceptional releases. The original distillery was dismantled in 2016. This bottling is part of the '36 Views of Mount Fuji' series, featuring artwork by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai.
