Distillery Information
Destillery logo

Founded in 1956 the Karuizawa Distillery ceased production in 2001. Despite not having produced any new whisky for over a decade the Karuizawa brand has enjoyed an increase in interest in recent years outside of Japan, thanks to the efforts of Marcin Miller’s Number One Drinks Company who continue to release new Karuizawa expressions.
