KARUIZAWA 33 ans 1981 Artifice Serie Of 55,3%
Single Malt Whisky, Japan / Honshu - Nagano, 70cl, Ref: COL18824
Préférant le concret au rêve et l’instant présent à l’avenir, cette version ne laisse aucun répit au dégustateur. C’est donc avec autorité et beaucoup de persuasion qu’elle développe son discours. Intimement liées les unes aux autres, les étapes de la dégustation ont cependant la faculté rare de nous emmener dans des contrées olfactives et gustatives à chaque fois différentes. Bouleversant de sensibilité, ce Karuizawa est splendide.

Tasting note
- Appearance : cuivre à reflets acajou.
- Nose : ample, élégant. Un fruité balsamique de vinaigre de Xérès flotte à la surface de la palette aromatique qui secomposée de rhubarbe, d’oranges confites et de pruneau. Il évolue avec douceur sur les fruits rouges (groseille).Puis des épices nobles (cardamome, clou de girofle) cisèlent ses contours. Poudré, il se prolonge sur le cacao et le caramel au beurre salé.
- Palate : altière, supérieure. Sa salinité transpire jusque dans l’attaque où dominent les oranges amères. Le milieu de bouche est très légèrement fumé et herbacé (tabac à pipe). Des huiles essentielles (sarriette, romarin) provoquent sur les papilles le même effet qu’un onguent. Dans la foulée, des fruits secs (datte, figue) et de nouveaux fruits mûrs font leur apparition : reines-claudes, kiwis et mangues.
- Overall : longue. Son toucher granuleux et velouté lui procure beaucoup de chair et de légèreté. Ses tonalités cramoisies vont du jaune doré à la terre de Sienne brûlée, en passant par toutes les nuances d’ocre et de brun. La rétro-olfaction fait preuve d’un exotisme exacerbé (banane flambée, fruits de la passion, mangue très mûre). Le verre vide est intensément floral (glaïeul, chèvrefeuille) et oriental (santal, bois de rose).

The brand
The Karuizawa distillery was built in 1955 in the town of the same name, in the prefecture of Nagano surrounded by the Japanese Alps. Japanese whisky generally has a very good reputation, but Karuizawa is especially sought after and appreciated by connoisseurs; it has accumulated an impressive number of medals in competitions. Just like Macallan, it is a whisky that owes much of its character to the type of barley that is used: (‘Golden Promise’) and to ageing in sherry casks. Production stopped in 2000 and bottles are becoming increasingly rare.

Merchant
A small company founded in 2006 by David Croll and Marcin Miller, Number One Drinks specialises in the selection, export and distribution of the most exclusive Japanese whiskies. Working in partnership with Ichiro Akuto, the owner of the Chichibu distillery, Number One Drinks sells the latter’s various single malts – Chichibu and Hanyu – in Europe, along with blends and the latest casks from the closed Kawasaki and Karuizawa distilleries, which were purchased in 2011. No other company offers such a wide range of exceptional whiskies, from the youngest, produced by newly created distilleries, to the oldest, often from distilleries that have long since disappeared.
