Karuizawa Koi 1984 Cask #4021

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.

Karuizawa is the gold standard for rare Japanese whisky. The distillery closed its doors in 2011, although it had not been producing whisky for over a decade.

This particular whisky from Karuizawa was distilled in 1984, then matured in cask #4021 for about 28 years before being bottled in 2012. It is included in the Carpe Koï Series of Karuizawa.
