       TASTING NOTES Of Karuizawa 48 Year Old 1964 (cask 3603)

First it’s brilliant whisky, and second, it’s ‘different’ whisky. Respect.”
95/100

-SERGE VALENTIN, WHISKY FUN

“And what it is, is one of those rare whiskies that creates a world of its own and holds it together so beautifully it’s almost like an image of nature at its best.”

-STEFAN VAN EYCKEN, NONJATTA

“Typically bold – that’s the Karuizawa style – while age has allowed a crisp quality to develop on the plate which plays off the depth of the nose.”
