Karuizawa Sherry Cask #4021 1984

A handsome looking bottling from Japan, which was the 2nd part of a pair of releases. This is the sherry cask edition, following the tradition of the distillery for releasing big sherry monsters.

The tasting notes for this whisky go along the lines of displays very big earthy savoury notes, overcooked Dundee cake, leathery fruit and a hint of smoke. Well that's certainly whetted our appetite!
