輕井澤 Karuizawa 35 Year Old 1977 Geisha Cask 4010 - The Rare Malt

Karuizawa 35 Year Old 1977 Geisha Cask 4010

Karuizawa distillery was established in 1955, using the golden promise barley same as the Macallan, and maturing whisky with sherry casks. Sadly affected by Japan's Bubble Economy, and Japanese whisky was not popular back in time, the distillery was closed in 2001. The remaining casks of Karuizawa were all bought up, mostly by Number One Drinks Company, Eric Huang, La Maison du Whisky and The Whisky Exchange.

This Karuizawa 1977 whisky is part of the Geisha series, renowned for its beautiful 'Geisha' artwork on the label. Bottled in 2012, it was matured for over 35 years. The Geisha series comprises single cask Karuizawa whiskies selected and bottled by Number One Drinks, created to pay homage to Japanese traditional art and the exceptional craftsmanship of the Karuizawa distillery.

Karuizawa

A legendary Japanese distillery, its whiskies are the super stars in the auction houses. It was established in 1955 at a vineyard of Karuizawa and named thereof. Karuizawa somehow looks like an Artisan whisky maker. It used small pot stills, Golden Promise barley and fine Sherry casks. The outcome is high production cost but low yield. All these elements are successful factors to make a premium whisky nowadays but not at that time. The market was dominated by inexpensive blended whiskies and not ready to accept such a premium Japanese malt whisky. Karuizawa was stopped production in 2000 and completed closed in 2011.
