Description
The Karuizawa Distillery was established in 1955 in the foothills of Mount Asama – an active volcano. The area is a popular mountain resort and the distillery is the highest in Japan at 850m above sea level. Traditional, small-scale, high-quality production is the aim, with wooden wash backs, small stills, and sherry casks from Spain, all contributing to the process.
Read More About the Karuizawa distilleryKaruizawa was established in 1955 in the foothills of the Asama volcano, a popular tourist destination west of Tokyo.
The small distillery originally produced whisky for the domestic Japanese market for 45 years between 1955 and 2000 when production eventually stopped. Since the early 2000s however, the whisky has gained recognition globally but it won't be long till the last drop of Karuizawa is eventually bottled; less than 300 casks are currently in existence making it a lucrative and extremely hard to find whisky.
Heavily influenced by the local environment and the imported Sherry casks, Karuizawa is rich, aromatic with a distinct profile.
