The Karuizawa 33 Year Old - Cask no. 8908, also known as The Emerald Geisha, is a limited edition single malt whisky from the defunct Karuizawa distillery. This whisky was aged for 33 years in a sherry cask and bottled in 2018 at 54.4% ABV by Elixir Distillers for The Whisky Exchange. It is part of the 'The Emerald Geishas' series, which includes another bottling, a 35-year-old whisky matured in a bourbon cask. A total of 170 bottles were produced, each with a numbered presentation box featuring a magnetic closure.
Karuizawa distillery was founded in 1956 by Daikoku Budoshu in the town of Karuizawa, near Mount Asama. The distillery was known for its single malt whisky made from Golden Promise barley and aged in sherry casks. Despite its initial success, the distillery ceased operations in 2000 due to shifts in the Japanese whisky market. The remaining stock was purchased by Number One Drinks in 2007, which increased the scarcity and demand for Karuizawa whiskies among collectors.
The 33-year-old Emerald Geisha is considered a collectible item due to its scarcity and the distillery's storied history. The design of the labels, created by The Whisky Exchange's creative director Raj Chavda, features an emerald green geisha and is intended to be complementary when paired with the label of the other bottling in the series. This release is a reflection of Karuizawa distillery's heritage and the artistry involved in its production.
