Founded in 1955 with a keen eye on producing high quality whisky, Karuizawa was mothballed in 2000 and since then has achieved the kind of mythical stature reserved for only a select few distilleries.  The town that gave the distillery its name is situated on a high plain at the foot of Mount Asama, a resort town.
