A Legacy Woven in Silk

The Karuizawa distillery, established in 1955, was a pioneer in Japanese whisky. Renowned for their delicate floral and fruity notes, Karuizawa whiskies were known for their smoothness and finesse. Sadly, the distillery closed in 2001, making remaining bottlings like the 38 Year Old “Pearl Geisha” immensely valuable and coveted by collectors worldwide. The “Pearl Geisha” moniker is part of the Geisha Series, a collection that pays homage to both the exquisite whiskies of Karuizawa and the artistry of Japanese geisha culture.

A Symphony of Aged Delights in a Luxurious Vessel

The Karuizawa 38 Year Old “Pearl Geisha” is aged for nearly four decades, resulting in a truly unforgettable experience. The signature Karuizawa notes of delicate fruits and floral hints are likely to be profoundly enriched by the depth and complexity of this extended maturation. Imagine hints of dried fruits like figs and dates, mingling with notes of candied citrus peels or even a touch of honey. These delicate notes would likely be further complemented by the subtle influence of the cask, potentially adding a hint of spiced wood, a touch of luxurious sherry, or even a whisper of dark chocolate.

The first sip of Karuizawa 38 Year Old “Pearl Geisha” promises to be a revelatory experience. The delicate sweetness of the malt whisky, aged to near perfection, dances with a symphony of flavors that have evolved over time.

The finish is expected to be incredibly long and lingering, leaving you with a profound appreciation for the artistry and heritage poured into every sip.
