Sticking with the same theme as our last post about more Japanese whisky entering the US market – it looks like we are getting even more. I was truly surprised to find out that there will be two single cask bottlings of Karuizawa available here this year through K&L Wines based in California. The now silent Karuizawa has become the Port Ellen of Japanese whiskies when it comes to the fervent demand for the precious few bottles that are released. The two spirits buyers at K&L, David Driscoll and David Othinen-Girard, worked hard and managed to secure a cask from 1981 bottled at 62.9% ABV and another from 1999 bottled at 58.3% ABV. As expected for Karuizawa both casks are Sherry Butts. It is also anticipated that these bottles will come wrapped in the ever-popular Noh series labels. Given that bottles of Karuizawa are selling out in literally seconds in Japan, I am thankful that these bottles will be available here in the US – maybe I’ll have a better chance at being able to buy a bottle.

Now you’ve posted Chris they’ve probably already sold out through pre orders : )
Even if there are a few left after the pre orders they will be snapped up immediately – not just for the prized malt itself – but for the collective “Noh” labels. Good news and chance for Japanese whisky lovers your way.
