Karuizawa 1999-2000 The Last Masterpieces 3rd Batch

Hailing from the now-silent Karuizawa distillery in Japan, this 1999-2000 release represents a poignant chapter in whisky history – a final masterpiece from a legendary producer. Matured for a significant period, the whisky unveils a complex tapestry of aromas, initially showcasing vibrant notes of sweet cherry and plum that evolve into a deeper profile of sandalwood and toasted sesame. On the palate, expect a luxurious richness, balanced by a gentle spice and a lingering finish of dark chocolate and lingering oak. This rare bottling offers a uniquely evocative experience, a testament to Karuizawa’s exceptional craftsmanship.
