Karuizawa, established in 1955, was known as one of Japan's smaller whisky distilleries and was notable for being an early Japanese whisky exporter. The distillery ceased production in 2000 and officially closed in 2011, which has led to an increase in the value and collectibility of its whiskies. The Karuizawa 1990 - Cask no. 679 is one such example, with only 433 bottles released, making it a rare item for collectors.
