The Latest Addition To The Highly Sought-After Karuizawa Geisha Series
Invest with as little as 1 share
Key Highlights
Scarcity
The two bottles making up this collection represent the newest release of the Karuizawa Geisha Series. There were only 137 bottles of the 38-year-old Platinum and 227 bottles of the 40-year-old ever produced, and initial distribution was by allocation only.
Strategic Early Acquisition
Vint maintains an investment strategy based on long-term value. To that end, getting in early on new bottlings like this creates an opportunity for better results over time. This investment offering was sourced directly from the bottler in order to obtain the lowest possible acquisition price and to provide investors with a long runway for potential appreciation.
Silent Distillery Reborn
The original Karuizawa distillery was closed in 2000. The remaining stock of whisky has been dwindling and sold off to collectors ever since, meaning every new series represents one more step toward the end of supply. While the Karuizawa brand has returned in 2023, and whisky is again being distilled, it will be decades before investors have a chance to acquire whiskies of this age again.

This collection features the final release in the storied Karuizawa Geisha series, the Platinum Geishas. These bottles represent the oldest bottlings in terms of the age of the whisky in the Geisha series. With only 137 bottles of the 38-year-old Platinum and 227 bottles of the 40-year-old in existence, scarcity is a key driver of this investment opportunity. Additionally, as these assets were acquired at release, they offer the longest window for any potential appreciation to occur.
The rarity of this collection is further compounded by the fact that the original Karuizawa distillery was closed in 2000, and the remaining stock of whisky has been dwindling and sold off to collectors ever since. Thus, the Karuizawa Geisha Collection #6 represents one of the last chances for investors to acquire aged whiskies of this caliber from the original distillery. While the Karuizawa brand has been resurrected in 2023, and whisky is again being distilled, it will be decades before new whiskies with this level of maturity will again be available on the market.
Vint’s offering features a complete set of Platinum Geishas, one bottle of the 38 Year Old and one bottle of the 40 Year Old. As the collection was sourced directly from the bottler, Vint was able to obtain the assets at the lowest possible acquisition price. Vint maintains an investment strategy based on long-term value, and getting in early on new bottlings like this creates the longest runway for potential appreciation. Furthermore, the corresponding index from Rare Whisky 101, The "Rare Whisky Karuizawa Index" has gained 7.44% over the last 12 months alone, demonstrating the potential for strong returns on this investment.
In conclusion, the Karuizawa Geisha Collection #6 is a unique investment opportunity due to its scarcity, strategic early acquisition, and the dwindling supply of aged Karuizawa whisky. With a long runway for appreciation and a proven track record of strong returns, this collection offers investors the chance to diversify their portfolio with a highly coveted asset.
