This is an extremely rare, extremely old bottling from the exulted Karuizawa distillery in Japan. Aged for just over 48 years in a 400-litre Sherry Oak cask, at the time of bottling, it is the oldest expression from this now closed distillery. This single malt whisky lay undisturbed in a traditional dunnage warehouse at Karuizawa before being transported to Chichibu for bottling. Being a single cask whisky, only 143 bottles are available, each individually numbered and presented in a dark wooden box fashioned in part from Polish black fossil oak. Karuizawa 1964 Cask #3603 is bottled at natural cask strength (57.7% abv), is non-chill filtered, and retains its natural colour.
This bottle was part of a private collection.

Tangerines intertwine with sweet spring blossoms before yielding to freshly-dug earth, and hushed myrrh and styrax. Flowers repeat undercut and enhanced by the earthy quality - wet moss emerges from the undergrowth. Hewn trees warmed by the sun and lovely perfumes linger.
Age does not deplete the force of this potent dram. Spiced orange chocolates and rich oak pervade with savoury dark sugars covering the mouth. Well-balanced throughout, it stands up well to water. Softer balance reveals itself as the alcohol is soothed by the water.
Long, lingering, pleasantly drying, and gently spicy. A dram that will live in memory, not just for the rarity, but for the flavour.
Capturing the essence of the Japanese value of harmony, this whisky truly provides an exceptional experience across all senses and is far-and-away extraordinary.
This is an excellent whisky to mix with coke, add a few ice cubes and sit by the pool. The coke really tones down the burn and makes it enjoyable
I absolutely loved this whisky. It was absolutely incredible. However, my child's college fund and my truck as a trade in for this was difficult decision.
I can with ease afford to spend 3k on this however, I don't believe I have been drinking whisky long enough to fully enjoy and understand what it is I am enjoying. I'm 34 and have been seriously into whisky and scotch for about 4 years now. I grew up seeing my Father drink scotch but in my twenties the goal was to get drunk not enjoy the taste. I have tasted many expressions in this short time and have a growing selection but I still feel that this one is a decade or better on the experience level. If you have not been passionately searching and empirically experiencing for 10 or better you will be cheating yourself. Don't get me wrong, a dog will enjoy Kobe steak if you give it him or an ape can drive a Bugatti but it is the total experience I am seeking by completely understanding what is I am partaking and the real knowledge and wisdom to put into proper context. Not just being some douchebag saying " Ya I bought the Karuizawa 1964, and it's awesome".
