Kawasaki 1980-2014 - 33 Year Old - Cask 6165 - Single Grain

1 bottle Kawasaki 1980 - 2014 33 Year Old. Japanese single grain whisky. In presentation box. Bottle number 50 of 60. Matured in a sherry butt cask number 6165. 70cl. 59.6%

Kawasaki was a distillery that produced grain whisky from the late 1960s and was owned by the Sanraku Ocean company. It was closed in the 1980s and very little else is known about it or the fate of he whisky it produced. Some casks were tracked down by Ichiro Akuto and now reside at the Chichibu Distillery.

This bottling is part of a series bottled by Ichiro and Number One Drinks for the Nonjatta blog and features a label by the great Japanese woodblock printer Yoshitoshi. This lable is one of his 'Ghost' series and features a badger in disguise as a preist having a snooze in Morin Temple.  There have so far been only eight releases of Kawasaki and, given the fact that so little stock has survived, there are unlikely to be any more. A true piece of Japanese distilling history and the very definition of a rarity.
