Whiskies from 'Karuizawa Distillery'

  • Karuizawa 12 Years Old
    I found myself writing some of the same descriptors as I did 15 or 20 years ago. That says something for the consistency of this product.
  • Karuizawa 12 Years Old
    Reveals more balance on the palate than expected. Certainly on the wood side but in a rich and complex way.
  • Karuizawa 15 Years Old
    I would have enjoyed the whisky more if I had stuck to nosing.
  • Karuizawa 17 Years Old
    Pleasant as a ‘dessert whisky’, but lacks complexity.
  • Karuizawa 17 Years Old
    A superb balance and richness. Luscious bouquet, satisfying and flavoursome.
  • Karuizawa 17 Years Old
    A marine character but more whispering than speaking up.
  • Karuizawa 1974
    Can’t see the point in offering so an unbalanced oaky profile. It is whisky we want to enjoy, not a wood infusion.
  • Karuizawa 1988
    Sherry masks the distillery character. Fine if you are a big fan. That sickening sweetness with water added is questionable.
  • Karuizawa 1988 Cask 3397
    The nose does not say it all. The old man is still sprightly.
  • Karuizawa 1992 Cask 5978
    A sharp character which needs a good dash of water. Quite refreshing.
  • Karuizawa 1993
    A herbal tea for those who like it hot and pungent. Lovely nose. Good balance. Definitely needs water to tame the strength.
  • Karuizawa Master's Blend, 10 Years Old
    For once, a whisky that delivers more on the palate than on the nose. It could make a pleasant summer dram.
