Karuizawa 1978 / 2014 Cask 8383

Karuizawa, the most mythical of all Japanese distilleries, was founded in 1955 by the Mercian Wine Company specialized in Japanese wine and liqueurs.

Built at an altitude of 850 meters on the slopes of Mount Asama, one of the most active volcanoes of the archipelago, the distillery benefited from a microclimate whose high humidity allowed the evaporation of water from the whisky, guaranteeing a high alcoholic degree and an exceptional concentration of aroma.
