The Karuizawa 1965 Single Cask #2372 is a rare and highly sought-after whisky, distilled in 1965 and bottled in 2016 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of La Maison du Whisky. This exceptional whisky hails from the renowned Karuizawa distillery, located in Miyota, Japan. Founded in 1955, Karuizawa is celebrated for its high-quality single malt whiskies, crafted using Golden Promise grain and aged in sherry casks. This exclusive expression was matured for an impressive 50 years, resulting in a truly unique and distinguished release. With only 309 bottles produced, it stands as a collector's dream. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 62.3%, this whisky delivers a complex and intriguing array of flavors. On the nose, expect an intricate blend of raisins, gamy and herbal notes reminiscent of bouillons, stocks, and sausages, along with hints of pipe and cigar tobacco. Additional notes include gentian liqueur, chartreuse, verbena liqueur, elderflowers, big black raisins, and a touch of mint. When water is added, the palate evolves to reveal flavors akin to Spanish cake and raisin rolls. The initial nose bears similarity to an old sherried Glenfarclas, featuring chocolaty and robust notes, drops of raspberry spirit, and bitter oranges. Adding water brings forward the prominence of oak, mint, dry herbs, and cocoa powder. Presented in a stunning decorative box, this whisky is not only a sensory delight but also a visual masterpiece. The set includes the bottle, seal, seal stamp, ink, photos, and all accompanying materials in pristine condition, making it a true treasure for whisky enthusiasts.
