Amber Room Review

Karuizawa 2000 2018 62% Cask 7608

05 October 2026
87

Nose

Very modern sherried nose, overwhelmingly sweet

Body

Very cask-driven dram, modern sherried and a bit peppery/spicy, sweet, oranges, gets a bit floral; does not feel as intense as a 60% ABV would suggest but definitely feels like a youthful dram, a bit nutty and slightly creamy; water does not change the whisky at all, bar making it a bit more smooth to drink and a bit more enjoyable but still quite one-dimensional

Finish

Long sweet finish, a bit dry
