The Karuizawa 1999 Artist #13 Sherry Butt LMDW is a single malt whisky of exceptional quality, distilled at the renowned Karuizawa Distillery in Japan in 1999. Matured in a sherry butt #877 until 2018, this whisky was bottled at a robust 60% ABV as part of a limited series of only 180 bottles for La Maison du Whisky's prestigious Artist series. This edition features the captivating artwork 'Moon Jar Serenade IV' by Wang Yung Chiu, adding an artistic touch to an already impressive bottle. Karuizawa, located at the foot of Mount Asama, is celebrated for its prestigious and legendary single malt whiskies. This particular bottling, matured by the Taiwanese company Hua Yang, upholds the distillery's high standards, offering a complex flavor profile that will delight even the most discerning of palates. On the nose, this whisky is rich and powerful, with enticing notes of blood orange, smoked lard, dark chocolate, tuberose, wild strawberry, and incense. As it breathes, it reveals nuances of varnish, mastic, polished parquet, and wood filler, adding to its complexity. The palate is lively and stately, showcasing a magnificent liquorice reduction that leads into captivating animal and empyreumatic flavors. The mineral and salty flavor palette is characterized by charcoal, Indian ink, and further empyreumatic notes. The finish is long and concentrated, with lime, ground almond, and candied apricot highlighting the oxidative and rancio character at the start of the finish. In the aftertaste, basketfuls of red and black fruits spread through the palate, with a retro-nasal olfaction that is both infused and creamy, reminiscent of latte and café crème. Overall, this is a whisky that impresses with its complexity, depth, and balance. It stands as a true testament to the legacy of the Karuizawa Distillery and is a must-try for any serious whisky enthusiast.
Its limited production of only 180 bottles, combined with its maturation in a sherry butt and high ABV of 60%, makes it a highly sought-after whisky. Additionally, the bottle features unique artwork by Wang Yung Chiu, adding to its distinctiveness.
