From the legendary Karuizawa distillery, established in 1955 and now closed, this 31 Year Old Shinanoya Cask 4961, distilled in 1981, presents a rare glimpse into its legacy. Bottled in 2012 at 55.3%, this single cask Japanese whisky offers a departure from the distillery`s typical Sherry cask profile, having matured in a Bourbon barrel—a less common practice at Karuizawa. The long maturation process in Nagano`s cool climate has resulted in an oil-rich, robust texture. Tasting notes reveal hints of citrus peel, light peat smoke, and resinous oak, providing insight into the interaction between the spirit and American oak. This release celebrates Shinanoya`s fifth anniversary, making it a notable piece of whisky history.
