Whisky

The legendary Japanese distillery Karuizawa produced outstanding whiskies, many of which are now in private collections. They have released almost 300 single casks which are becoming increasingly rarer as demand soars. This limited ‘Geisha Label’ bottling was distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2012. Produced from single cask #2042, which yielded only 440 bottles.

This exceptional Karuizawa Geisha Label Cask 2042 from 1981 is a single cask release, aged for decades to produce a rich, complex whisky. The label features captivating Geisha artwork, reflecting the beauty of Japanese culture. Notes of dark chocolate, dried fruits, and spices, with a rich sherry influence.

The Geisha Label series from Karuizawa Distillery features exquisitely designed labels that pay tribute to Japanese culture, with each release showcasing a unique and intricate geisha artwork. These limited-edition bottles are highly prized by collectors for both their aesthetic beauty and the exceptional quality of whisky they contain.

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.
