Karuizawa

Karuizawa Distillery was a small-scale whisky production facility, known for its premium and highly sought-after single malt whiskies. Located in Miyota, Japan, at the foot of an active volcano (Mount Asama), it was one of Japan's highest altitude distilleries. This unique location contributed to the distinct flavor profile of Karuizawa whisky.
