Karuizawa 1971 Single Cask

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Number One Drinks Co.

ABV: 64.1%

Score: 82 Points

The nose has dried figs and raisins on top, with a hint of citrus undertones and a touch of caramel candy. The citrus notes take over and dominate the taste, with a lemon and lime tartness that tingles the tongue, but fades to reveal a touch of caramel candy sweetness on the finish.
