Its remaining stock is lower than that of the first edition. Collectors typically acquire both the first and second editions to complete their collection. Given that the distillery has long ceased operations and no new stock is being produced, the scarcity of this second edition, with even fewer units remaining, makes it even more prominent when offered for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKaruizawa Noh 13 Years Second Edition: Brand Lineage and Resale Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaruizawa was a \u003cb\u003eJapanese single malt whisky\u003c\/b\u003e distillery operated by Mercian in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. It was known for its long-term use of Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for maturation, resulting in a rich and deep body often described with layers of dried fruit, Christmas pudding, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. After its closure, it became one of the brands with the highest single-bottle transaction prices globally. Some rare single casks have fetched over seven-figure Hong Kong dollar prices at Bonhams and Sotheby's. The phased bottling mechanism of the Noh series is precisely why the same vintage can spawn different versions like the first and second editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNoh 13 Years (Second Edition) Specification Positioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhisky Type\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJapanese Single Malt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e13 Years (Same vintage as the 13 Years First Edition)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSecond Edition (Cask numbers do not overlap with the First Edition)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Type\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSingle Cask, mostly matured in sherry casks\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eLabel Main Visual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eFeatures a different samurai mask design\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eRarity Level\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLimited single cask, usually fewer than 200 bottles per release\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDistillery Status\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCeased production in 2000, site demolished in 2011, discontinued Japanese whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Factors Affecting the Buyback Price of Noh 13 Years (Second Edition)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs there are different versions from the same vintage, version identification is particularly crucial for this whisky.

How can I avoid misjudging the price when asking for a quote?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: First, take photos of the front and back labels, seal, fill level, and accessories. Then, add a picture of the bottle bottom or certificate. Buyers usually look at the vintage, cask number, label theme, and completeness of the certificate. Relying solely on the name can lead to a very rough estimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the buyback price for the Noh 13 Years Second Edition and First Edition be the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not necessarily. The cask numbers and labels for both editions are independent, and the remaining stock also differs (the Second Edition usually has less). The final valuation depends on the specific cask number, condition, and weekly transaction prices, so it's difficult to generalize. Send us photos, and we can assess them separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: I only have the Second Edition, not the First Edition. Will this affect the buyback?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, it won't. The Second Edition is an independent single cask bottling and can be acquired individually. If you sell the First Edition later, we will also value it according to the market at that time, and we do not require a complete set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How can I confirm that I have the Second Edition and not the First Edition?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The main indicator is the cask number code on the back label; the two editions will not overlap. If you are unsure, send us clear photos of the back label, and we will verify the version when providing a quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen asking for a quote for Karuizawa Noh 13 Years Second Edition, it doesn't need to be too complicated. First, take clear photos of the front, back label, fill level, seal, and box\/certificate. WhatsApp them to 46135750, then we can discuss collection based on the version and condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNoh Series Market Depth\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Karuizawa Noh series was released from 12 to 23 years, with some vintages even having first and second editions due to phased bottling. Each bottle is an independent single cask bottling. The Noh series is a long-standing subject in late Karuizawa bottlings, with Bonhams, Sotheby's, and Whisky Era featuring them in their auctions every quarter. The cask number and condition differences between different versions of the same vintage directly impact the valuation. It's advisable to perform a version comparison before selling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFurther Reading: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/japanese-whisky\"\u003eJapanese Whisky Full Series Valuation\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/whisky-recycling-faq\"\u003ebuyback FAQ\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKaruizawa Noh 13 Years Second Edition Similar Whiskies:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/qing-jing-ze-neng-13nian\"\u003eKaruizawa Noh 13 Years\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/qing-jing-ze-neng-12nian\"\u003eKaruizawa Noh 12 Years\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/qing-jing-ze-neng-14nian\"\u003eKaruizawa Noh 14 Years\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"威仕世忌","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43411518587097,"sku":null,"price":999999.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/0014\/7161\/products\/13_-21_2.jpg?v=1664252794","url":"https:\/\/whiskyera.com\/en\/products\/karuizawa-noh-13-2-year-buyback","provider":"威仕世忌","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
