Karuizawa (silent) Japanese Pure Malt Whisky 8 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with warm copper undertones and ribbons of honey-gold light.

Nose

Opulent nose of caramelized citrus, fig and prune, with hints of red berry and orange zest. Rich leather, espresso and tobacco rest on toasted oak, vanilla and cocoa. A thread of spice—cinnamon and clove—drifts through a whisper of smoke, yielding a velvety, sculpted aromatic profile.

Palate

Silky and balanced on the palate, a creamy wave of honeyed vanilla, toffee and dried apricot unfolds. Dark chocolate and espresso mingle with walnut, framed by refined oak spice, a whisper of tobacco and lacquer. The finish is long and restrained, with orange zest, subtle smoke and lingering warmth.

Finish

An elegant, long finish coats the palate with dark chocolate, dried fig and orange zest, easing into vanilla-caramel oak spice. A whisper of smoke and leather lingers, softly fading to a warm, refined glow.
