Karuizawa is a closed distillery in Japan and shut down its whisky production in 2011, but stock from the distillery remains and is a vintage treasure to the whisky world. This particular dram from Karuizawa is the Karuizawa 1972 Single Cask 7290 and was matured in a sherry butt cask for 36 years before bottling, giving it the signature Karuizawa sweet and spicy whisky flavor profile. This bottle won a Gold Medal from the Malt Maniacs, and only 528 bottles were released for this Karuizawa edition.
