The Karuizawa distillery was built in 1955 in the namesake city, around the prefecture of Nagano surrounded by the Japanese Alps. Japanese whisky generally has an excellent reputation, but Karuizawa is particularly sought after and appreciated by connoisseurs, accumulating an impressive number of awards in the most recent competitions.
Just like Macallan, this is a whisky which really stems from the type of barley used, the Golden Promise, and from the Sherry cask aging. Production stopped in 2000, making bottles increasingly rare and sought after.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
