This limited-edition release, part of the prestigious "36 Views of Mount Fuji" series, is a testament to the distillery's legacy of crafting exceptional whiskies.

The "Kōshū Misaka Suimen" bottling, inspired by the renowned woodblock prints of Hokusai, likely offers a unique and complex flavor profile. Expect to encounter notes of dried fruit, spice, and oak, with a touch of sweetness and a subtle smokiness. The palate is likely to be full-bodied and complex, with a long and satisfying finish.

Karuizawa Distillery, nestled in the Nagano Prefecture, was renowned for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The distillery's use of local ingredients and its focus on traditional Japanese whisky-making techniques resulted in whiskies with a distinctive character. The closure of the distillery in 2011 has only increased the demand for and value of Karuizawa whiskies, making them highly prized among collectors and enthusiasts.
