Description

Delve into the exquisite world of Japanese whisky with the Karuizawa 1992 Single Cask #3330, a rare gem from the renowned Karuizawa distillery. This exceptional single malt whisky was distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2007 after over two decades of meticulous maturation, offering connoisseurs a taste of both tradition and rarity. Karuizawa, nestled at the foot of an active volcano in Nagano Prefecture, ceased production in 2000 and was mothballed, making its remaining stock highly coveted among collectors. Known for using Golden Promise barley and sherry casks, Karuizawa's offerings are celebrated for their rich, complex profiles. This particular bottling comes from American white oak sherry butt #3330, with an outturn of 430 bottles. It is bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill filtered, and naturally colored, showcasing the whisky in its purest form.

Nose
The bouquet is a captivating medley of dark fruits, particularly blackberries and cherries, interwoven with hints of polished oak, dark chocolate, and a whisper of smoke. Subtle notes of antique leather and dried figs add to its aromatic depth.
Palate
On the palate, the whisky is remarkably rich and full-bodied. It opens with flavors of ripe plums and dates, complemented by spiced oak, nutmeg, and a touch of espresso. The sherry cask influence shines through, imparting layers of sweetness balanced by a gentle smokiness.
Finish
The finish is long and luxurious, leaving a lasting impression of dried fruit, dark cocoa, and a faint smokiness that lingers elegantly.
