Karuizawa 30 Year Old Cask 8173 1984

Karuizawa is a highly sought-after Japanese whisky brand, known for its premium quality and rarity. This particular release was distilled in 1984, aged for 30 years, and bottled in 2014 at a cask strength of 58.5% ABV. The whisky has a complex and nuanced flavour profile, with notes of dried fruits, spices, oak, and vanilla. The extended aging period in the ex-bourbon cask resulted in a smooth and mellow character, with a depth and complexity that can only come from decades of careful maturation.
