Karuizawa 29Yr 1982 Carpe Koi Cask 8497 Single Malt Japanese Whisky is a rare vintage expression from the historic Karuizawa name, distilled in 1982 and matured in a single bourbon barrel before being released in 2012 as part of The Karuizawa Carpe Koï Series. Cask #8497 gives this limited expression a distinct identity, while its long maturation highlights the character of a classic Japanese single malt from Karuizawa. The Carpe Koï presentation further adds a distinctive visual element to a sought-after vintage release, making it a notable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of historic Japanese whisky.
The nose is described as pleasant and inviting, leading to an elegant palate with a rich, full-bodied character. The finish is distinctive, rich, and notably long-lasting, giving the expression a lingering and memorable conclusion. Its combination of vintage character, single-cask provenance, and extended maturation makes this a compelling choice for those exploring classic Karuizawa releases.
