Launch of the “Karuizawa Whisky Owners Club 1955”

Membership in the “Karuizawa Whisky Owners Club 1955” is defined by the ownership of a whisky cask; there is no application screening process or membership fee. We have established this club as a space to share in the journey of maturation, and we are currently planning a new maturation warehouse that will feature an adjoining salon where members can connect with one another. Further details will be announced as they are finalized.

The “1955” in the name refers to the year the former Mercian Karuizawa Distillery was founded. It embodies our commitment to honoring a legendary legacy while embracing a fresh, new perspective.

In 2023, we began distillation in Karuizawa and filled our first casks.

The club was created as a space for members to share in the maturation journey. As our whisky requires at least 10 years of cask maturation, we view this period not merely as a “waiting time,” but as an integral part of the whisky’s very essence. Members can observe how their individual casks evolve year by year and share these experiences with one another.
