Aqua of Life Black & White set
A whisky journey like no other with the Karuizawa 50yo Aqua of Life Black & White set. This exclusive collection features two extraordinary 50 year old vintages, the White and Black Labels. The White, from cask #538, and the Black, from cask #6223, offer a rare glimpse into the legacy of Karuizawa, with each bottle presenting a unique story of age and elegance.
The White Label, a rare treasure distilled in 1968, is a testament to the art of ageing whisky. Matured for half a century in sherry casks, this remarkable spirit was bottled at a cask strength of 59,2% ABV, making it an embodiment of depth and complexity. With only 347 bottles available, this exquisite Karuizawa whisky is a collector’s dream, perfect for connoisseurs and investors seeking the pinnacle of luxury. The Aqua of Life White, inspired by the ancient Gaelic term “Uisge Beathe” (water of life) and the Tai Chi Yin-Yang concept, represents a harmonious balance, reflecting the circle of life in each sip.
Karuizawa 50yo Aqua of Life Black
The Black Label, equally rare and distinguished, hails from cask #6223. With a 57,9% ABV and a limited run of just 248 bottles, this variant offers an intense and memorable whisky experience. Both expressions come in original packaging, adding to their collectible appeal. For those looking to taste the essence of a legendary distillery, the Karuizawa 50yo Aqua of Life Black & White set is an unparalleled choice, offering a rare opportunity to explore the rich, historical tapestry of Japanese whisky craftsmanship.
