Description from the seller

A rare collectible bottling of Karuizawa Japanese Single Malt Whisky distilled in 1988 and matured in a refill sherry butt. This limited edition was released in a very small outturn of only 120 bottles.

Bottled at a cask-strength-style 57.9% ABV, this expression represents the highly sought-after Karuizawa distillery, which has become internationally recognised among collectors of rare Japanese whisky.

The bottle features distinctive black-and-gold labelling with a crane illustration, a black wax-style neck seal, and a wooden presentation box bearing Karuizawa branding. The bottle is numbered 08/120.

The bottle appears to be in good overall condition based on the photographs.

Bottle: Appears intact, with no obvious major damage visible.
Liquid level: Appears satisfactory; please refer to the photographs for the exact level.
Label: Visible signs of handling and minor surface wear may be present.
Neck seal: Black wax-style seal appears present; its integrity should be assessed from the photographs.
Presentation box: Wooden box included, with visible signs of handling and wear.
Accessories: The pictured presentation materials are included.

Please carefully review all photographs, as they form an important part of the condition description. The bottle's contents have not been independently tested.

The bottle and wooden presentation box will be packed separately within the outer packaging where appropriate. Tracking information will be provided after dispatch.
