Karuizawa 1984 Single Cask #3662 – Shinanoya & The Whisky Exchange

The Karuizawa 1984 Single Cask #3662 is a highly sought-after collaboration between two of the world's most respected whisky retailers: Shinanoya of Japan and The Whisky Exchange in the United Kingdom. Bringing together Japanese craftsmanship and international whisky expertise, this exclusive release showcases the timeless appeal of one of Japan's most legendary closed distilleries.

Distilled in 1984 and matured for 29 years in a single Sherry cask (#3662), the whisky was bottled in 2013 at its natural cask strength of 61.0% ABV. Only 271 bottles were produced, making this an exceptionally limited release and a coveted addition to any serious Japanese whisky collection.

As with many of Karuizawa's finest expressions, the whisky was left to mature slowly under ideal conditions, allowing decades of interaction between spirit and oak to create a whisky of remarkable concentration and character. Bottled without dilution from a single cask, it captures a unique snapshot of the distillery's unmistakable house style - one that has become legendary since Karuizawa's closure in 2000.

Today, this joint Shinanoya and The Whisky Exchange bottling stands among the most desirable independent collaborations from Karuizawa, combining impeccable provenance, exceptional rarity, and the enduring prestige of one of Japan's most collectible whisky names.
