Asama

A three-release Karuizawa single-malt family from 1999 and 2000 stocks. Number One Drinks released the 12-year-old 46% Asama in 2012 and the longer-married 13-year-old 50.5% 2nd Edition in 2013, both drawn from a vatting of 77 European-oak sherry casks. A separate no-age-statement 55% Asama Selected Vintages release was bottled in 2012 for La Maison du Whisky.
