This extraordinary whisky was distilled in 2011, carefully nurtured in an imperial stout cask, and then finally bottled in 2020. With only 224 bottles ever produced, this expression has become the epitome of exclusivity and desirability among whisky aficionados.

Chichibu distillery, known for their commitment to quality and craftsmanship, spared no effort in selecting the perfect cask for this exceptional release. The imperial stout cask imparts a distinctive character to the whisky, infusing it with rich and complex flavors that will leave a lasting impression on your palate.

From the moment the bottle is uncorked, an enchanting aroma fills the air - a symphony of dark chocolate, roasted malt, and hints of espresso. As you take your first sip, the robust flavors of the imperial stout cask unfold, revealing notes of velvety cocoa, toffee, and a subtle smokiness. The interplay between the whisky's inherent characteristics and the influence of the cask creates a harmonious balance that is truly exceptional.

Bottled at a formidable 55.2% strength, this single cask release showcases the full intensity and complexity of flavors. Each sip offers a journey through layers of depth and character, inviting you to explore the nuances that have been carefully preserved over the years. The higher proof allows the whisky to express its full potential, unveiling a range of captivating flavors that captivate the senses.

It is worth noting that acquiring a bottle of this highly sought-after release was no easy feat. The Whisky Exchange conducted a special ballot, granting fortunate winners the privilege of owning one of the limited 224 bottles. This exclusive distribution method adds an extra layer of prestige and rarity to this already remarkable whisky.
