Mahogany

Nose

Wow! At first nosing I immediately get the typical powerful Karuizawa nose with beautiful high quality sherry and intensive fruity aromas. A mixture of raspberry, strawberry and blackberry jam, sweet hay, chestnuts and suede. A delightful nose.

Taste

A powerful rich sherry monster at first mouthfeel. The sherry is high quality and delicious. In addition there is a combination of plum butter and sweet jams, spicy notes (cloves, pepper), tobacco, chestnuts, leather and bark. After a while tobacco notes move to the fore. Very very good.

Finish

Long, mostly on tobacco and exotic woods towards the end.

Comments

Contributes to the fabulous reputation of old Karuizawa whiskies.
