This single-cask bottling of a 35-year-old Karuizawa single malt, an original distillery bottling (Number One Drinks Company), was produced as part of the Aqua of Life series. The whisky was matured in an ex-sherry butt and bottled at cask strength in 2015 in a run of 473 bottles.
Karuizawa was a distillery in Miyota, Japan, which was founded in 1955. It was one of the smallest distilleries in Japan, was mothballed in 2000 and finally closed in 2011.
The whisky from Japan is like its makers. At first glance, reserved, respectful and polite. On closer inspection, however, enormously profound and multi-layered. Japanese whisky is the result of perfected craftsmanship. Many whiskies from Japan carry exotic fruity aromas and a floral bouquet in front of them.
