The Karuizawa Distillery was established in 1955 in the foothills of Mount Asama – an active volcano. The area is a popular mountain resort and the distillery is the highest in Japan at 850m above sea level. Traditional, small-scale, high-quality production is the aim, with wooden wash backs, small stills, and sherry casks from Spain, all contributing to the process. The environment is also ideal for whisky production, with low temperatures and high humidity.
This particular Geisha Collection includes 5 individual rare bottles. It is one of the rarest bottling ever created by the now shut-down distillery. If you’d like to know the taste of a rare whisky from the legendary distillery, then this collection is yours!
