About Karuizawa

Karuizawa is a whisky distillery. Karuizawa 1977 Daily Dram 31 Year Old - Wait La Mazurka is an age-stated bottling at 31 years old, distilled in 1977.

What drives this bottle's value

  • Closed / ghost distillery

    Karuizawa closed in 2000 and has since been demolished — no new whisky will ever be produced, which underpins exceptional auction demand.

  • Single vintage

    Distilled in a single year (1977), so the available batch is inherently finite.

  • Considerable age

    A 31-year age statement reflects long maturation and the small surviving volume that implies — older stock is scarcer.

  • Named / limited release

    Released as dailydramlamazurkawait, a named edition rather than part of the standard core range.

These are scarcity and demand signals drawn from the bottle's own attributes — they describe the bottle, not a prediction of future price. Not investment advice.
