Wakatsuru Shozou Distillery is one of the longest established, but not well known, Japanese distilleries. Wakatsuru Distillery obtained a license to distill whisky in 1953 and has been producing a small amount of whisky on and off since this time. This particular whisky is the oldest Japanese Whisky ever released.It was distilled in 1960, aged in an ex-red wine cask and was bottled 55 years later. Only 155 bottles werereleased. Comes with original wooden box, a good old whisky indeed!
