Description

A legendary name in Japanese whisky that developed significant cult status due to many exceptional releases of its whisky following its closure in 2000. The original distillery was dismantled in 2016, however a new one was built 7 miles away in the town of Karuizawa, commencing production in 2023. This limited bottling consists of multi-vintage Cask Strength Karuizawa from the distillery's final years of production and is part of the '36 Views of Mount Fuji' series.
