Karuizawa Hanshin Tigers Moore 17 (36cl, 37%)

Introducing an extraordinary collector’s item from the legendary Karuizawa distillery: a rare bottle of Japanese whisky that combines the artistry of distillation with the passion of baseball. This exceptional release is part of a limited series honoring the Hanshin Tigers, one of Japan’s most beloved baseball teams. What sets this bottle apart is its unique cap, meticulously crafted to resemble the head of player Moore, who proudly wears the number 17 jersey. This distinctive feature makes it not just a whisky, but a piece of sporting memorabilia that captures the spirit of Japanese baseball culture. Karuizawa, a now-closed distillery, was renowned for producing some of Japan’s most sought-after whiskies. Located at the foot of Mount Asama, the distillery took advantage of its unique microclimate to create spirits of unparalleled quality and character. This bottle, featuring the Hanshin Tigers theme, represents a perfect fusion of two Japanese passions: the art of whisky-making and the national love for baseball. As Karuizawa whiskies become increasingly rare, this bottle stands as a testament to the distillery’s legacy and its place in Japanese cultural history, making it a prized addition to any whisky enthusiast’s or sports memorabilia collector’s portfolio.
