Single cask Japanese whisky. This was distilled at the Karuizawa distillery in 1985 and matured in single cask number 7017 before bottling at cask strength on the 16th October 2009.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
From the big, bold school of Japanese whisky, heavy on the sherry influence. Hint of the sulphur, though it really works here. Mixed nuts and dried dark fruits.
Big on the deep, earthy savoury notes. Pine, heather roots, truffles, mushrooms, big sherry character. Peppermint.
Slightly short, chewy and tannic.
Very distinctive and utterly fabulous. Cordite seems to hang on the nose and palate in a wonderful way.
