{"product_id":"karuizawa-16-year-old-cask-3681-1996","title":"Karuizawa 16 Year Old Cask 3681 1996","description":"Karuizawa 16 Year Old Cask 3681 1996 is a single cask Japanese malt whisky, distilled during the final decade of operations at the now-closed distillery in Nagano. Bottled in 2013 at a cask strength of 58.9%, it reflects the intense production style characteristic of this period. The whisky matured in a Sherry butt, leading to a swift integration of notes typical of Sherry maturation in the region`s cool climate. Tasting reveals layers of dark fruits, bitter cocoa, and a subtle hint of savoury tobacco, all complemented by an oily texture from the traditional coal-fired stills and Golden Promise barley. This limited release exemplifies the distillery`s unique character.","brand":"Karuizawa","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62412788728138,"sku":"HED89401","price":4480.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED89401.jpg?v=1781893779","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/karuizawa-16-year-old-cask-3681-1996","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
