The Karuizawa Legacy

From its inception in 1955 until its closure in 2000, Karuizawa focused on small-scale production, primarily catering to the local market. The distillery’s cessation of operations left behind a finite number of barrels, each filled with the exceptional spirit. Over the years, these barrels have gradually diminished, their contents savored by a fortunate few. No new Karuizawa whisky will ever emerge again, making each remaining bottle a precious artifact, a liquid testament to the distillery’s lauded history and craftsmanship.

The Whisky’s Exceptional Profile

Distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2017 from sherry butt cask number #6412, the Karuizawa 1981 35 YO Fazzino presents an impressive profile. It boasts a score of 92.00/100 on Whisky Base, testament to its high-quality. Its rarity is compounded by its limited availability; only 505 bottles were ever produced.

Collaboration with Charles Fazzino

Adding to the whisky‘s allure, each bottle showcases a stunning collaboration with acclaimed artist Charles Fazzino. Fazzino, a highly-collected pop artist and graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York City, has carved a niche for himself with his unique, vibrant, and three-dimensional artwork that resonates with pop culture. The bottle and accompanying box are graced with a Fazzino 3D engraving, depicting a serene Japanese snow scene.

Fazzino’s Artistic Influence

The 3D nature of Fazzino’s artwork sets it apart. The detailed, rich, and colorful imagery, assembled and embellished by hand, delivers a ‘WOW’ factor that can only be fully appreciated in person. Fazzino’s serigraph cityscapes, including those of New York City and international locations like Jerusalem and Munich, have earned him global recognition and a clientele of prominent individuals such as Paul McCartney, Michael Jordan, and President Bill Clinton.

A Collector’s Dream

This rare Karuizawa 35 Year Old “Fazzino” bottling is more than just a whisky. It’s an artifact, a piece of art, a slice of history, and a symbol of craftsmanship.
