Karuizawa 1999-2000 The Last Masterpieces 4th Batch

A singular expression from the legendary Karuizawa distillery, this 1999-2000 bottling represents a poignant farewell from a closed icon of Japanese whisky production. Distilled in Miyagi Prefecture and bottled as part of the ‘Last Masterpieces’ series, it showcases the distillery’s unique terroir and meticulous craftsmanship. Expect a complex and layered profile, initially presenting notes of ripe orchard fruit and delicate floral sweetness, evolving into deeper tones of dark chocolate, sandalwood, and a whisper of smoke. The finish is extraordinarily long and warm, leaving a lasting impression of refined elegance and a profound sense of history.
