Karuizawa-1978-#8383
Imported for LMDW by Number One Drinks Ltd.. Distilled December 1978, bottled July 2014. Distilled at Karuizawa Distillery.
One of 405 bottles. Cask no. 8383, Ex-bourbon cask. In original carton. Good label. Level: 4.5cm below wax foil.
"...Pretty often, these old ex-bourbon Karuizawas do display sherried notes, which is funny. With water: cough syrup, just like in the 1979, but this time the whole got even more medicinal. Some kind of secret concoction that would cure just anything! The croissants are back as well. Mouth (neat): as creamy as honey, rather spicy, marmalady and rather tannic. Ginger, cinnamon mints, cumin, strong tea...But once again, the citrusy side saves it. Even better, that comes with perfect earthy tones." (5 stars-Whiskyfun)
