Description

A legend in the world of whisky, the Karuizawa Single Cask 867 1999-2011 distillery was inaugurated in 1955 in Miyota. In Japan, near the active volcano Mount Asama. The distillery housed four small stills and imported barley from Scotland to create its whisky. Which was aged in sherry casks. Unfortunately, the distillery was deactivated in 2001. So making its bottles collector’s items for whisky enthusiasts. Then in 2011, the remaining bottles of Karuizawa whisky were acquired by a company. Placed in the United Kingdom and are now available for purchase.
