Karuizawa 2000 Single Cask #507

Distilled in 2000 at the now-silent Karuizawa Distillery, nestled at the foot of Japan’s Mount Asama, this single cask whisky represents a unique piece of Japanese distilling history. Originally built to produce malt for blends, Karuizawa uniquely employed Golden Promise barley and matured its spirit exclusively in sherry casks, resulting in a whisky of exceptional character. Bottled in 2018 from cask #507, this expression delivers a robust and flavourful profile, showcasing the distillery’s signature style before its closure. With only 483 bottles released, it offers a rare opportunity to experience a whisky from a distillery lost to time, embodying a distinct and increasingly sought-after taste of Japan.
