Karuizawa Vintage 1965 Cask #8852 Whisky

Bottled in 2017, after aging in a sherry cask for more than 52 year, this release offers the opportunity to own an expression that is in a league of its own. The single cask expression was bottled from one of Karuizawa’s last remaining casks, making it a true piece of Japanese Whisky history. Just 150 bottles were released, making this one of the most treasured collectibles on the market. There is little chance that a release of similar age will be offered for sale again, due to the scarcity of remaining casks, combined with surging demand.
