Karuizawa 31 Year Old Sapphire Geisha

Journey Through Time: Karuizawa 31 Year Old Sapphire Geisha

Distilled by the legendary Karuizawa distillery, the 31 Year Old Sapphire Geisha is a single malt whisky that transcends the ordinary. This exquisite expression offers a glimpse into a bygone era of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, promising a truly remarkable drinking experience.

Aged to Perfection

Each drop of this whisky whispers of its extraordinary 31-year slumber within sherry casks. The time spent maturing has imbued the spirit with an unmatched depth and complexity. Imagine a rich nose filled with aromas of thick chocolate sauce and leather, accented by intriguing hints of seaweed and earthy loam. As the whisky breathes, lighter notes of mint, dark chocolate, and glacé cherries emerge, hinting at the symphony of flavors to come.

A Symphony of the Senses

The palate is a captivating journey, bursting with a delightful contrast of dark brown sugar sweetness and deep, earthy oaky notes. Hints of mint and menthol dance across the tongue, interwoven with bittersweet chocolate and hints of dried fruit. As the whisky evolves, cigar box cedar and damp tree bark notes intertwine with a crescendo of rich dates, prunes, and raisins. Lighter touches of dried pineapple and baked apples dusted with cinnamon add a touch of playful complexity. The finish lingers luxuriously, leaving a lasting impression of mint, chocolate, and the subtle earthiness of a bygone forest floor.

A Collector’s Piece

This limited-edition bottling is more than just a whisky; it’s a collector’s dream. With the Karuizawa distillery now closed, each bottle represents a finite piece of Japanese whisky history. The exquisite Sapphire Geisha is a testament to the enduring legacy of the distillery, offering a rare opportunity to savor a taste of time.
