Karuizawa 1976 Single Cask #7818

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Number One Drinks Co.

ABV: 63.6%

Score: 94 Points

Sherry cask-aged, with a complex nose of cola, figs, marzipan, and hazelnut. The taste is tannic and dry, mouth-puckering with notes of cedar, butterscotch, tobacco, and old leather. The finish is full of caramel, nutmeg, and light spices. Very nice!
