The History Of Karuizawa Whisky
Originally established by Mercian, Karuizawa is the producer of some of the world’s most highly regarded and sought-after Japanese single malts. The name is taken from a spa town at the base of Mount Asama that can be found when you are travelling to Nagano from Tokyo. It was the site of the Olympic Games in 1998 and is considered to be an extremely sacred and holy area.
The distillery was originally built during the 60s and was at the time owned by Sanraku, a sake brand. Everything takes place in one building, from mashing to the fermentation and distillation. Although the water they use comes from the Asama, they import selected malt from Scotland along with many of the company’s casks.
Karuizawa’s 12, 15, 17 and 21-year-old malt bottlings won medals at London’s International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2001 and are also responsible for the highly desirable Vintage range. This was launched in 2002 and consists of cask strength, un-chill-filtered single malts. There are other ranges from Karuizawa that are imported and bottled by Number One Drinks, across Europe, such as Noh and Number One Drinks. These varieties are considered to have a more unique taste and character.
The Karuizawa distillery produced outstanding whisky, many of their releases have received international acclaim. They have created almost 300 single casks which are becoming increasingly rare over time.
