Karuizawa whisky

The Karuizawa whisky distillery, known for its exquisite Karuizawa whisky, was established in 1955 by Daikoku-budoshu. Located in the scenic town of Karuizawa, nestled in the foothills of the active Asama volcano, this distillery quickly became a popular destination for whisky enthusiasts.

What makes Karuizawa whisky the most expensive among whiskies?

Using traditional methods, Karuizawa produced small-batch whisky renowned for its exceptional quality. The whisky was aged in sherry casks imported from Spain, imbuing it with a distinct sherry profile. However, the local elements of the region, such as the volcanic spring water, freezing winters, and hot summers, also left their mark, contributing to the unique character and flavor of Japanese alcohol.
