In the 1990s, Karuizawa exclusively used Scottish Golden Promise barley, contributing to the exceptional quality of whiskies like Karuizawa 1995. After the distillery’s closure in 2001, the availability of these exceptional spirits became extremely limited, and their market value has skyrocketed. Today, Karuizawa 1995 is a symbol of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, cherished by collectors and connoisseurs around the globe.
