Karuizawa is a historic Japanese whisky distillery, which opened in 1955 in a vineyard in Miyota near the active volcano Mount Asama. Famed for its quality and, now, the rarity of its whiskys, the distillery has a cult status among whisky lovers.

The Karuizawa distillery housed four small stills and imported Golden Promise barley from Scotland to make small batch single malt whiskies, which were typically aged in Sherry casks. In 1959, Karuizawa became the first Japanese distillery to export overseas.
