Karuizawa 1984
Lot number: 089-2006
Winning bid: £3,200
Those lovely chaps over at the Whisky exchange have a problem - Karuizawa is literally the hottest release, and when they announce that there is going to be a new bottling for sale, the entire whisky world heads to the website and it sells out in minutes.
So this time they tried a new tactic - a lottery to allocate bottles. Were you one of the disappointed masses who didn't win this sherry cask beauty? Well luckily for you, Scotch Whisky Auctions is offering you a second bite of the cherry...
For the rest of you, this is what you're missing out on, according to TWE:
"It’s pretty much what you'd expect – a big, rich and over-the-top sherried whisky from Karuizawa. It has the forest floor and old woody notes as well as all the fruit, spice and stickiness that you want from a bottle like this."
Distilled: 1984
Bottled: 2013
Cask Type: Sherry

56.8% ABV / 70cl
