Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
there’s always something happening in Karuizawa, and this baby’s no exception. How often do you find a combination of fruity Swiss cheese, pipe tobacco, fried bacon, Seville oranges and cardamom seeds in whisky? Oh, almost forgot to mention menthol. Quite bizarrely, it reminds me of some older batches of the popular Glenfarclas 105. With water: some smoke coming out, whiffs of vulcanisation (repairing bicycle tyres, remember?), some black earth… That works very well
restaurant Palate
tears you apart a wee bit, with a very punchy triple-sec at hyper-cask strength, then rather chartreuse and a small sugariness that’s a little… Guyanian, perhaps? Very oily texture, it’s almost syrup. With water: Seville oranges singing loud, plus some green pepper, from the oak I suppose. Some creamy mead on top of that
timer Finish
long and spicier, but also more citrusy. Peppery and gingery Seville oranges
