Karuizawa is Japan’s smallest whisky distillery, producing just 150,000 litres of spirit a year. It is situated to the west of the town of Karuizawa, which is a popular mountain resort for Tokyo highflyers. Karuizawa whisky is quite rare, due to the low production capacity and the distillery prides itself on its use of traditional whisky making methods.

Note for the connoisseurs, let’s be more precise: Karuizawa distillery actually imports Golden Promise barley from Scotland, which was historically the most common barley used there and matures their whisky mostly in sherry casks imported from Spain. Besides, the water used in production has flowed through or over the volcanic lava rock and soil that surround the distillery, giving it a unique quality! Unfortunately it appears that they stop the production in 2000 so the bottle are becoming very rare… Buy here for the 1981 Vintage model or just try the Karuizawa 12 years old.
