- Description
- Karuizawa's 1984 distillate spent 29 years in a single sherry cask before bottling, representing one of Japan's rarest and most collectable single malts from a distillery that closed in 2001. Maturation in sherry oak imparts deep fruit complexity, dried stone fruit, and rich spice to the spirit. The extended ageing develops a concentrated, velvety texture with layers of oak and candied sweetness. A landmark bottle for serious collectors of closed Japanese distilleries.
