A distillery established in 1955 near Mount Asama in Miyota, Japan

Karuizawa whisky, produced by a distillery established in 1955 near Mount Asama in Miyota, Japan, is now a rare and highly sought-after collector’s item since the distillery’s closure in 2001.

It is worth noting that in 1961, the company acquired Nisshin Breweries, incorporating the Mercian brand for wine production. By 1970, the company had launched Chateau Mercian wine and continued to diversify its offerings, including popular drinks like Peachtree Fizz during the Highball Boom of the 1980s.

Karuizawa ‘Lucky Coin’ 1981 35YO cask #4059

One of two bottles from Lucky Coin Edition. Both bottles are available in our online store individually or as a set. The latter option is a true challenge for Karuizawa whisky collectors, as there are only 10 Lucky Coin sets in existence worldwide.
