The spirit was made from peated barley and aged in Spanish sherry casks, which gives a sherried and peaty character. Karuizawa, in Japan, stopped production in 2000 and closed in 2011.
The nose runs from old leather, dry sherry and pipe tobacco to cedar, plum jam and old Armagnac. On the palate there are walnut liqueur, bitter chocolate and pine resin, and the finish is very long, dry and spicy.
