Karuizawa 1984 28 Year Old SMWS 132.1 - Secret Moonlit Garden Dram

The Karuizawa 1984 SMWS 132.1 is a Japanese single malt whisky distilled on 30 August 1984 and matured for 28 years in a refill ex-Sherry Butt. Bottled by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), this single-cask release carries the evocative title Secret Moonlit Garden Dram and was released at 59.9% ABV, with an outturn of just 229 bottles.

The cask reference 132.1 identifies this as the first Karuizawa cask bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. The Society uses a numerical coding system to identify distilleries and individual releases, giving this bottling a distinct place in its history of single-cask whisky selections.

With its 1984 vintage, 28-year age statement and refill ex-Sherry Butt maturation, this release represents a mature expression from one of Japan’s most sought-after closed distilleries. Limited to 229 bottles, the Karuizawa 1984 SMWS 132.1 is a notable release for collectors of vintage Japanese single malt whisky and historic SMWS bottlings.

About Karuizawa

Karuizawa was a Japanese single malt whisky distillery located in Nagano Prefecture. Production ceased in 2000, and the original distillery was dismantled in 2016. Its remaining whisky stocks have become highly sought after, particularly in the form of vintage single-cask releases. Today, Karuizawa is a recognised name in the rare Japanese whisky market, valued for its limited releases and historical significance.
