Karuizawa Noh 1976 32 Year Old
Lot number: 0620833
Winning bid: £2,700
Founded in 1955 with a keen eye on producing high quality whisky, Karuizawa was mothballed in 2000 and since then has achieved the kind of mythical stature reserved for only a select few distilleries. During production they solely used Golden Promise barley imported from Scotland - the Golden Promise was considered vital for long maturation. Direct fired stills, Sherry casks sourced from Spain and an on site cooperage all contributed to the high quality of their whisky. In 2011 Number One Drinks bought the remaining stock and they have been instrumental in the phoenix- like resurrection of a distillery that rarely released any bottles during its life time.
Another bottle of the 'Noh' bottlings of Karuizawa, from Number One Drinks Company. This range features traditional Japanese theater costumes and masks on the labels of the bottles.
