Asama Blended Whisky Produced by Ocean Whisky 72cl ,V ships bottle, Released in 1970's, Karuizawa is Japan¡¦s smallest whisky distillery, producing just 150,000 litres of spirit a year. It is situated to the west of the town of Karuizawa, which is a popular mountain resort for Tokyo highflyers. Karuizawa whisky is rare, due to the low production capacity and the distillery prides itself on its use of traditional whisky making methods. They import Golden Promise barley from Scotland, which was historically the most common barley used there and mature their whisky mostly in sherry casks imported from Spain. The water used in production has flowed through or over the volcanic lava rock and soil that surround the distillery, giving it a unique quality. Early releases were mostly blends appearing under the 'Sanraku Ocean' brand name, a 1970's favorite.
