Karuizawa 1981/2012 31yo 58,6% cask#4676 Noh Whisky Namanari.
The Karuizawa Noh Series is one of the most collectible whisky range of all. This series features different masks used in Noh, one of Japan’s traditional performing arts. This specific label of the bottle features a scene taken from the Noh play, Namanari.

 
This Karuizawa is the epitome of rare Japanese whisky, because the distillery shuttered its doors in 2011, despite a decade-long hiatus in whisky production. This Noh series bottle, from a single cask, was distilled in 1981 and aged for 31 years in cask #4676. A true Karuizawa rarity, limited to just 186 bottles.
