1981 Karuizawa Release

An ultra rare Karuizawa that has just been released in December 2018. Distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2017 from a single sherry cask. Only very few bottles of this whisky have been made available to retail, meaning this is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire such a coveted bottle of whisky.

Karuizawa Japanese whisky ranks alongside Macallan as the most desirable whisky for collectors and drinkers alike. What sets Karuizawa apart, is the fact it was Japan’s smallest distillery until its destruction in the year 2000. Famed for it’s high quality sherry cask matured whisky, there are very few bottles remaing on the open market.

This bottling of 35 year old Karuizawa from a single sherry cask (#6183) is likely one of the last bottlings to hit the open market. The cask itself was acquired by a private collector and shared amongst friends before relinquishing the last remaining bottles to Scottish retail.

Only 486 bottles of this Karuizawa have been produced.

Christmas Gift Ideas

Three Must Have Stocking Fillers

Exciting new releases from whiskyfix.com

With Christmas almost upon us here at Whisky Fix HQ, we have come up with three whiskies we feel embody everything we love about the festivities. With 2pm Wednesday being the cut off to guarantee delivery for Xmas day, you still have time for those last minute gifts.

Christmas cake in a glass is often how this whisky was referred to before being discontinued in 2014. Thankfully The Glendronach 15 Year Old is back and it is as delicious as we remember. Stock is strictly limited due to the unforseen demand for the return of this cult whisky.

The Laphroaig 10yo Cask Strength is always a highlight as far as yearly batch bottling’s go and once again, this one does not disappoint. Full of iodine aromas, tarry ropes and creaminess, it’s a must for the legions of Laphroaig fans worldwide.

Award for surprisingly amazing whisky of the year goes to Talisker 8 Year Old. An unexpected addition to the Diageo Special Release range, this malt has received global adulation from fans of peaty, coastal whisky. The only downside is the small number of bottles produced.

Slainte and Merry Christmas!!!
