Stories
Whisky is a passion to explore. From the history of the spirit to the evolution of the industry, the story of whisky helps fuel that passion. Often, it’s easy to forget that whisky is also a global multibillion dollar industry. The stories of whisky — from news and new releases to in-depth inquires and what goes on behind the label — blend together to help us appreciate the spirit of whisky.
Polish Whisky Lovers Get Oldest Karuizawa Single Cask
The oldest known whisky from the now-closed Karuizawa Distillery in Japan has been bottled exclusively for customers of a Polish wealth management firm. Number One Drinks Company acquired the final casks of Karuizawa in 2011, and Cask #3603 was matured for more than 48 years before it was bottled at Chichibu on December 24, 2012. It is said to be one of the few remaining casks of Karuizawa from the 1960’s, and was bottled at 57.7% ABV.
Wealth Solutions has acquired all 143 bottles of the 1964 Karuizawa Limited Edition for its clients. It’s the second cask the Warsaw-based firm has acquired for its clients as potential investments, following the acquisition of a 58-year-old Glenfarclas cask in 2012.
