Karuizawa 1967 42 años Cask #6426 TWE 10th Anniversary

Karuizawa 1991 single cask 3318

One of the youngest Karuizawa we’ve tried so far, a 1991 released in 2007. Back then, Number One Drinks had just started the import and the distillery was still building up recognition.

Noh Karuizawa 32 Year Old 1977 Cask 4592

This is an amazing gem, hard to find (only 190 bottles). It’s not very often I get a chance to try this hard to get, expensive whisky. I got this from Master of Malt sample series, a great way to try really amazing whiskies for a nice price. The ABV his amazing, but still calm when nosing. I’m impressed that it doesn’t burn your nose away....

Karuizawa 1982 for TWE 10th Anniversary

Nose: one of the more balanced Karuizawa without the matchstick notes that they sometimes display. Lots of spicy Christmas cake and café latte. Café noir biscuits. Some mint. Sour orange liqueur. It also shows a slightly forestial side. Mouth: pretty dense and slightly alcoholic. Notes of raisins and a little rubber. Cloves and other herbs....
