Description
Karuizawa in Nagano Prefecture closed in 2000, and its Ex-Bourbon aged casks represent the smaller, contrasting portion of the surviving stock alongside the dominant sherry-matured releases. This single cask was distilled in 1980, matured for 31 years, and bottled in 2011 for the German market.
Without the further detail of the specific cask type, the maturation follows the typical pattern for Karuizawa's Ex-Bourbon aged expression: vanilla, dried orchard fruit, gentle honey and spice developed over three decades in American oak. At 56.4% cask strength, released by the distillery's custodians, it offers an accessible point of comparison with the better-known sherry-dominant releases from the same closed site.
