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. This Karuizawa Pure Malt whisky was created at the legendary distillery before its closure and aged for 15 Years. It's a rich and full-bodied expression that delivers everything you would expect from a Karuizawa whisky and then some. Dried fruits, rich oak, cinnamon spice and red berries are the stars of the show and they keep you coming back for another dram time and time again. As a whisky from the legendary Karuizawa Distillery, this one is highly collectible.
