Description
The Karuizawa 35 Year Old Bourbon Cask #8518 - Emerald Geisha is a legendary, ultra-rare Japanese single malt whisky prized by collectors and investors globally. Distilled in 1983 at the iconic, now-silent Karuizawa Distillery and bottled in 2018 by Elixir Distillers, this expression was released exclusively for The Whisky Exchange.
While Karuizawa is historically famous for heavy sherry-cask maturations, this rare bourbon-cask aging introduces a drastically different dimension to the distillery's signature heavy spirit

About the Distillery:
Karuizawa distillery was a Japanese whisky distillery. It was located at Miyota, a town on the southern slopes of an active complex volcano, Mount Asama, in Kitasaku District, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
Established in 1955, the distillery began production in 1956. It was owned by Mercian Corporation, and was the smallest in Japan. It was mothballed in 2000, and closed in 2011; the land on which it had stood was sold in 2012. The remaining whisky stock from the distillery was purchased and re-branded, then released as a series of luxury whiskies. The rarest of these is the 1960 vintage.
