The Karuizawa 1999 SMWS 132.5 is a Japanese single malt whisky distilled on 25 June 1999 and bottled in 2013 at 14 years of age. Released by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS), this expression matured in a refill Sherry Butt and was bottled at 58.6% ABV.

Titled Sweet and Darkly Beguiling, this bottling forms part of the Society’s series of individually identified single malt releases. The SMWS reference 132.5 identifies the Karuizawa distillery and this particular expression, while the refill Sherry Butt records the type of cask used for maturation.

Limited to 495 bottles, Karuizawa 1999 SMWS 132.5 represents a late-1990s vintage from the now-closed Japanese distillery. Its 14-year age statement, documented distillation date and cask details make it a distinctive release for collectors of Karuizawa whisky and bottlings from The Scotch Malt Whisky Society.

About Karuizawa

Karuizawa was a Japanese single malt whisky distillery located in Nagano Prefecture. Production ceased in 2000, and its remaining whisky stocks have since become highly sought after by collectors. Vintage expressions and cask-specific releases from Karuizawa are valued for their limited availability and connection to a closed chapter in Japanese whisky production.
