Following its closure in 2000, remaining casks were gradually released, quickly achieving cult status among collectors. Today, Karuizawa is regarded as one of the most iconic and collectible names in Japanese whisky, with series such as the “Sumo Wrestlers” standing as both artistic and liquid masterpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distilia Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57544285618524,"sku":null,"price":26000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1238\/2300\/files\/sumo-set-1a.jpg?v=1777987214","url":"https:\/\/distilia.com\/products\/karuizawa-sumo-48-wrestlers-3-bottle-set-casks-3648-3680-824","provider":"Distilia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
