1992 Karuizawa 15 year old whisky Limited Edition

This limited edition bottling of Karuizawa Japanese whisky is retailed exclusively in the UK by Berrys.
It comes from the highest distillery in Japan and at 60%abv, it has "glowing amber colour, a lightly smoky nose with touches of dried soft fruits, tea leaf, toasted wood. Water brings out a touch of varnish, freshly lit cigar, also a candied peel aroma.The palate mixes sweetness and smokiness, and displays a chewy character with a fragrant yet earthy peatiness. The finish is initially evocative of baked clay and spices, then it returns to cigar smoke influences with a wonderful head-clearing menthol quality." (whiskylive.com-Feb 08)
