Karuizawa 1999

Karuizawa 1999 is one of the rarest whiskies from the iconic, yet now-closed Karuizawa distillery. Founded in 1955, the distillery quickly became known for its exceptional whisky, aged primarily in sherry casks and benefiting from the unique climatic conditions at the foot of Mount Asama. In the 1990s, the distillery used Scottish Golden Promise barley, which played a crucial role in shaping the unique character of whiskies like Karuizawa 1999.

Since the distillery closed in 2001, Karuizawa whiskies have become rarities, fetching high prices at auctions. Today, Karuizawa 1999 stands as one of the most coveted whiskies, admired for its rich flavors and storied history, representing the pinnacle of Japanese whisky craftsmanship.
