If you appreciate collecting items related to Japan, the Karuizawa 1981/2013 31 year old 56% cask#155 Noh Whisky is a must-have addition. Its rich history and exceptional craftsmanship make it a prized gem for whisky enthusiasts. Having this bottle in your collection is truly a valuable acquisition for any collector, as it represents a prized possession.

Karuizawa label, this whisky features an image of the Noh character Asakura-jō, portraying an elderly common man. This beautiful mask has a unique origin, as everything began with the ingenious presentation of Karuizawa’s limited resources to whisky enthusiasts, primarily through various series. The Noh single cask series itself was initiated in 2008, featuring barrels that didn’t quite align with the official Vintage series. Noh represents an ancient form of Japanese theater with profound religious connotations, where actors, employing masks and their strategic use of light, skillfully evoke a range of emotions.
