Cask number 2077. Matured in a Sherry Cask. 70cl. 56.4%. In presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother magnificent old single sherry cask of Karuizawa Japanese single malt whisky from the famous 1981 vintage, this was released by specialist indie bottlers Number One Drinks as a 29-year-old or 30-year-old in 2011 at its hefty natural cask strength of 56.4%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s difficult to overstate the seismic effect that these old Karuizawa sherry casks had in the couple of years around the turn of the Noughties when every month seemed to bring yet another otherworldly Japanese sherry cask to the UK or European drinks scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1981 and 1984 vintages were the pick of the decade for Karuizawa and these Number One Drinks bottlings captured the best of them in their peak years, though many of them went to European retailers and are increasingly difficult to find nowadays. An unsurpassed Japanese single malt whisky whose only competition comes from its own sister casks, among which any connoisseur privileged enough to encounter them must try and find their own first among equals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57997654360445,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Karuizawa 1981-2011 - Single Cask 2077-Lot Id:0226-121","offer_id":57997654655357,"sku":"0226-121","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/1772449794-0-186961.jpg?v=1775076592","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/karuizawa-1981-2011-single-cask-2077-lot-id-0226-121","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
