- Description
- Karuizawa 1999-2000 is a Japanese single malt from the now-closed distillery, matured in a sherry butt and released as part of the highly sought sixth batch of cask-strength expressions. The sherry cask influence brings rich, dark fruit character—plum, raisin, and fig—layered with the distillery's characteristic clean spirit and subtle wood spice. The texture is full and warming, with a long, fruity finish. This is a rare collector's bottle representing a closed Japanese distillery at peak maturity.
