Karuizawa Distillery was established in 1955 in the foothills of Mount Asama, an active volcano north-west of Tokyo, to make single malt in as traditional a manner as possible. At 850 metres above sea level, the distillery was the highest above sea levels in Japan; low temperatures and high humidity provided an ideal micro-climate for whisky production. This particular Karuizawa 1980 was exclusively bottled for the Harbour City. It is 35 year old whisky distilled in 1980 and was aged in cask #4376, before being bottled in 2015. It is presented with an original box. Truly a collector’s item! NOTE: Contact us before you order for stock availability.
