Whisky history is a long, adventurous story

The Karuizawa distillery was small but renowned for producing top-quality malt whisky. In 1976, Karuizawa created its first 100% malt whisky, aged in small casks. The storage facility, almost entirely covered in ivy, provided optimal conditions for aging the whisky. Despite its size, Karuizawa whisky is known for its floral aroma and maturity. The few bottles still available on the market have become collectibles, and some of them have doubled in value over recent years.
