70cl / 63.4% – Whiskies from Karuizawa are some of the most sought after in the world. Not only has the distillery closed, but its heavily sherried drams have a reputation for excellence that has only grown over the past few years. This 1981 sherry-cask-matured dram was previewed at The Whisky Show 2014, where it…
70cl / 58.1% – A bottling of Cask No. 103 from the tiny Karuizawa distillery, which uses small stills, wooden washbacks and sherry casks to produce a quality malt. One of only 10 Gold Medal-winners at the Malt Maniac’s Awards 2007.
70cl / 54.5% / Distillery Bottling – Another top-notch Karuizawa from Japan. This was distilled in 1981 and bottled after 33 years’ ageing in an ex-sherry cask for extra spice and depth. Originally sold by La Maison du Whisky, this is a highly sought-after bottling from this closed distillery.
70cl / 60.3% / Distillery Bottling – An incredibly intense 1981 vintage bottling from cult closed Japanese distillery Karuizawa. Aged in a sherry cask for more than 30 years, this is another excellent example from this legendary distillery – it might just be the best one that we’ve bottled.
70cl / 57.2% – Another great single cask Karuizawa from No.1 Drinks. A sherry matured entry in the ‘Noh’ range of bottlings, complete with beautiful label featuring the mask of Chorei Beshimi from the 17th century.
70cl / 59.1% – An exceptionally rare single malt from the now-closed Karuizawa distillery, this 1983 whisky captures the intense character that made the producer legendary. The dramatic temperature swings of the Japanese Alps played a key role in shaping its deeply concentrated flavour. Matured in first-fill sherry casks for decades, it was finally bottled…
70cl / 61% / Distillery Bottling – This sherry-matured Karuizawa was a joint bottling between The Whisky Exchange and Japanese company Shinanoya. Distilled in 1984 and aged for 29 years, 271 bottles were produced at 61%.
70cl / 56.8% / Distillery Bottling – A great single cask bottling from closed Karuizawa – distilled in 1984, matured in sherry cask #3663 and bottled in 2013. Big, rich and packed with sherry fruit.
70cl / 64.5% / Distillery Bottling – Another enormously potent first fill sherry cask from Karuizawa, this was distilled in 1984 and displays very big earthy savoury notes, overcooked Dundee cake, leathery fruit and a hint of smoke. At 64.5% a drop of water (or four) is perfectly acceptable, but we actually preferred this one…
70cl / 60% – Karuizawa distillery was established in 1995 and has since contributed significantly to Japanese whisky history. After its closing in 2000 the distillery’s single malt attained legendary status and it continues to beguile whisky collectors and aficionados alike. This release was matured in a sherry butt for 19 years and bottled by…
70cl / 53.9% – One of a pair of mirror-image labelled bottles released at The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show 2014. This is the bourbon-matured half of the duo, although its deep and rich colour is more reminiscent of a heavily sherried dram. This sold out during the weekend of The Whisky Show.
70cl / 58.2% – The sherried half of a pair of Karuizawas launched at The Whisky Show 2014. Hugely popular, the tasting bottles were emptied in the first few minutes of each day of the show and the whisky sold out not long after. An intense, savoury and spicy whisky.
