It was located at Miyota, a town on the southern slopes of an active complex volcano, Mount Asama, in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. 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, The remaining whiskey stock from the distillery was purchased and re-branded, then released as a series of luxury whiskies. This extremely rare Karuizawa was bottled by Mercian for their Ocean range. During this period the vast majority of Karuizawa was being used for Ocean's blended whisky range so a single malt of this age is almost unheard of. These older bottlings under the Ocean brand are especially rare. One of 518 bottles. 43%/72cl
