Karuizawa 1999/2000 Vintage - Cask Strength 2nd Edition

Single Malt whisky from the closed Karuizawa Distillery in Japan. This is a bottling of 1999-2000 vintages captured at full cask strength.

Karuizawa Distillery was established in 1955 in the foothills of Mount Asama, an active volcano. The area is a popular mountain resort to the north-west of Tokyo and the distillery is the highest in Japan at 850 metres above sea level.
The environment is ideal for whisky production, enjoying low temperatures and high humidity. Production of single malt whisky at the distillery ceased in 2000.
