Created as part of the Karuizawa Five Decades collection, Jupiter combines rare Karuizawa whisky drawn from across the distillery's history.

The collection represents an unprecedented approach to one of Japan's most revered closed distilleries. A private collector spent years assembling an exceptional archive of Karuizawa, bringing together whiskies distilled across five decades. For this project, 210 bottles were opened and their contents carefully assessed before being blended into seven entirely new expressions.

Each expression in the collection is named for one of the seven classical celestial bodies: The Sun, The Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

The Meaning of Jupiter

In the classical planetary system, Jupiter is associated with authority, wisdom, abundance and protection. In Roman mythology, Jupiter was the king of the gods and ruler of the sky. The planet itself is the largest of the seven classical celestial bodies, giving Jupiter a natural association with scale and prominence.

For Karuizawa Five Decades, Jupiter reflects this sense of scale and distinction. It represents the breadth of the archive itself, bringing together rare whisky from across the distillery's history to create an expression of considerable presence and character.

Jupiter is one of just 30 bottles produced.
