Karuizawa 1999 Single Sherry Cask #895 Japanese Malt Whisky, 70cl, 58.6% ABV
Karuizawa 1999 Single Cask #895 Japanese Malt Whisky is an extraordinarily rare and sought-after release, distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2016 at a cask strength of 58.6% ABV as one of only 320 bottles. Fully matured in a single Sherry cask (#895) before bottling at 70cl, this silent-distillery masterpiece displays a deep, dark amber hue and features an ornate Geisha-art label. It offers a intensely complex flavor profile rich in dark dried fruits, espresso, aromatic spices, polished wood, and subtle earthy peat smoke, culminating in a exceptionally long, bold, and warming finish.
Karuizawa Distillery is a prominent Japanese producer with a storied history in the anticipation of limited single cask releases. The distillery was established in 1955 on the foothills of Mount Asama, in a region noted for its high altitude at roughly 850 metres above sea level, contributing to a distinctive fermentation and maturation environment that has become part of its lore. The Karuizawa brand and its single cask releases have attracted attention for their rarity and pedigree within Japanese whisky culture.
