Karuizawa Murasaki Geisha Whiskies
Virtually unknown outside Japan for most of its life, the Ocean Karuizawa Distillery closed in 2001. Before it did it produced what is now one of the most sought-after whiskies in the world. These Murasaki Geisha Whiskies are one such expression. Aged 29 and 31 years, their flavor profiles are quite different, yet equally excellent. As one bottle of each was opened and poured at The Whisky Show, there are now only 59 of each remaining, and each will be offered by ballot, meaning only the luckiest will get to own the matching set.
