Amazing set of three magnificent Karuizawa bottles from 1965!
The set includes:
KARUIZAWA 1965 Japonism Edition – 60th anniversary LMDW 62,41%.
Distinctly elegant, this Karuizawa coming from the blending of sherry cask #2372 and bourbon cask #8636, is a model of balance. With key notes of harmony and osmosis the liquid is an invitation to explore a world of aromas and flavours whose originality and vibrancy fit perfectly into the history of this legendary single malt.
KARUIZAWA 1965 Monyou Edition Sherry Cask 62,3%
Profile: perfectly balanced, the initial nose fluctuates between vanilla, dried fruit, nuts and honey. It then becomes spicy and floral (reseda). Very long, the palate is spicy and heady, while remaining resolutely ethereal and elegant. Magnificent range of brown, orangey, green and yellow hues.
Single Cask no. 2672 – Sherry Cask
Limited edition of 309 bottles.
KARUIZAWA 1965 Monyou Edition Bourbon Cask 62,6%
Profile: a combination of sunshine and shadow, the nose evokes a field of ripe barley before taking on a more exotic character with a hint of chilli pepper. Notes of rancio sherry (cherries in brandy). Very balanced, the palate reveals notes of blood oranges and purple lilacs, and becomes even more exotic (mango, pineapple).
