Karuizawa 1984 Single Cask #3186 / P9

Karuizawa distillery was a Japanese whisky distillery located at Miyota, a town on the southern slopes of an active complex volcano, Mount Asama.

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.

That year the UK-based Number One Drinks Company bought the remaining stocks. The remaining whisky is now a legend of the whisky world.

This limited release was distilled in 1984 and bottled in 2012.

Produced from single sherry butt, cask #3186, which yielded only 540 bottles.

This release was an exclusive for the Taiwanese online retailer, P9
