Karuizawa 1999-2000 Asama

Distilled in 1999 at the now-silent Karuizawa Distillery, this whisky represents a final bottling from a legendary Japanese estate before its closure in 2000. Crafted with locally sourced barley and matured in ex-sherry casks, it embodies the unique terroir of the Japanese highlands. Expect a complex profile of dark fruits, spice, and a subtle smokiness, characteristic of Karuizawa’s distinctive spirit. This expression offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era of Japanese whisky production, prized for its depth and character.
