Karuizawa 1980 & 1981 'Artifices Series' LMdW Cask #6476 & #136 2 x 70cl

This is an incredibly rare opportunity to bid on a pair of excellent single cask whiskies from a legendary Japanese distillery – Karuizawa.

Both whiskies were distilled in the early 1980s and were carefully selected by French spirit specialists La Maison du Whisky. They were launched at Whisky Live Paris 2014 as part of the "Artifices Series", featuring labels designed by a number of different artists – both Karuizawa labels were designed by Warren Khong from Singapore.
