Karuizawa 1964 Mini 5cl, Book & DVD
Lot number: 0490917
Winning bid: £1,300
This is the highly sought after Karuizawa 1964. This extremely rare whisky has been in a 400 litre Sherry butt for just over 48 years before being bottled. At the time, this was the oldest release from this cult distillery with just 143 bottles from the cask.
The presentation is absolutely top-notch: a bespoke, heavyweight version of the traditional Karuizawa bottle is housed in a beautiful wooden box with a front made of Polish black fossil oak with the characters for “Karuizawa” engraved in it. The wood is hundreds of years old and has been recovered from ancient Polish swamps – this is a reference to the last character in the name “Karuizawa”, which means “swamp”.
This miniature also comes with a book, detailing the distillery and tasting notes.
