The Karuizawa distillery was established in 1955 in the foothills of Mt. Asama, an active volcano. The distillery is the highest in Japan at 850m above sea level. Traditional, small-scale, high-quality production is the aim, with wooden washbacks, small stills and sherry casks from Spain contributing to the process.

Karuizawa 1992 15 Years Old
Brand : Karuizawa Expression : 1992 15 Years Old
Nose : Lightly smoky with touches of dried soft fruits, tea leaf, toasted wood, calf leather. Rich, but very clean. Water brings out a touch of varnish, freshly lit cigar, also a candied peel aroma. Palate : Medium bodied, mixing sweetness and smokiness from the start. Chewy with a fragrant yet earthy peatiness. Light dilution brings out a note of sweet persimmon, incense and dried flower. The smoke recedes. Finish : Baked clay, spice, then the return of cigar smoke. A wonderful head-clearing menthol quality. Comment : Tasting note not by the poster.. Colour : Glowing amber Score : 10
