Karuizawa 27 Year Old Cask 2748 1982

Karuizawa is the gold standard for rare Japanese whisky. The distillery closed its doors in 2011, although it had not been producing whisky for over a decade. It was under the aegis of UK-based Number One Drinks, who bought the 300 or so barrels still available at the distillery in 2006 that Karuizawa joined the ranks of legend. This is a single first-fill sherry cask of Karuizawa 1982 which was matured for 27 years, until bottling in 2009.
