Karuizawa 1973 The Golden Age of Showa

This exceptionally rare Karuizawa 1973, bottled during the Golden Age of Japanese whisky production (Showa era), represents a pinnacle of craftsmanship. Distilled at the now-lost Karuizawa distillery nestled in the shadow of Mount Asama, this single malt embodies the distillery’s legacy of using pristine mountain water and meticulously selected barley. Expect a complex aroma of sandalwood, dried apricot, and a subtle smokiness, evolving into a palate rich with dark chocolate, sweet sherry, and a lingering spice. A truly unforgettable experience for the dedicated whisky connoisseur, capturing a bygone era of Japanese distilling.
