Expect fruity, sweet and oaky character — sherried, cooked fruit, dried fruit, old wood. An approachable dram, ideal for newcomers and casual sippers. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Karuizawa's 1999 release matured for 19 years in a sherry butt, bottled by La Maison du Whisky for this Artist series. The nose offers blood orange, incense, sandalwood and dark chocolate, while the palate develops pipe tobacco, rancio and concentrated fruit richness at cask strength. A rare example of Japanese whisky from a distillery that achieved legendary status after its closure in 2000.
