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 is a blended Japanese whisky produced by Sanraku-Ocean Co., Ltd., which owned the Karuizawa distillery, and was bottled around 1986. It is a blend of whiskies from distilleries like Karuizawa and Yamanashi/Kawasaki.
