Tasting note
- Appearance : Ambre à reflets cuivrés.
- Nose : Complexe, riche. La noix grillée, l’orange confite, le vin de noix, la rhubarbe, la cerise à l’eau de vie, la framboise, la violette… chacune de ces nuances est dessinée avec une précision d’orfèvre. Du grand art. Minéral, il évolue sur l’ardoise, le silex, le zan et le cuir.
- Palate : Elle hausse encore le niveau. Sa liqueur abricotée évoque celle d’un vénérable Quart de Chaume. Son rancio et ses fruits rouges (fraise des bois) nous emmènent à Porto déguster une vieille colheita. Ses couleurs sont chaleureuses, fauves et balsamiques.
- Overall : Longue, charnue et particulièrement épicée (cannelle, gingembre, muscade, girofle, baies roses). Le chocolat noir, le tabac frais (havane) et le miel de sapin apportent chacun à leur manière un peu d’onctuosité. Mais ce Karuizawa n’en a que faire, il préfère les ambiances capiteuses (giroflée) voire pimentées (paprika).

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.
