KARUIZAWA: THE MARRIAGE COLLECTION

We’re delighted to announce the Karuizawa Aged 50 Years Marriage 1965 & 1972 is now available to buy exclusively from The Whisky Exchange Cabinet, with only 50 bottles available.

This extraordinary single malt from closed distillery Karuizawa is a spectacular whisky, in which two historic 50-year-old malts have been married before being bottled exclusively for The Whisky Exchange Cabinet in a collection that will never be repeated.

The first component is Karuizawa 1965, originally bottled as a 50-year-old whisky in 2015. Matured in sherry casks, it is a rich, complex and dark with dried fruit, coffee and spice notes. A small amount of this sought-after whisky was kept back from bottling and held in glass, ready for the creation of the Marriage.

The second component is a Karuizawa 1972. A sample was tasted at a masterclass held at The Whisky Exchange in 2012, leading to the long-running plans for the Marriage. The whisky was matured in red wine casks, which gave it a rich red fruit character that’s complemented by its tropical guava and dried mango notes. After the tasting, the cask was recoopered, allowing this long maturation to continue at a more controlled pace.

Each of the 50 bottles in the collection is engraved with a unique design of a different Japanese princess, and presented in a wooden box with a book explaining the philosophy of its creation.
