About This Whisky
Cask #2651 is a Chichibu sherry hogshead distilled in 2010 and bottled for Mitsukoshi Isetan, the Japanese department store group. It gave 162 bottles at cask strength.
Sherry hogsheads hold roughly 250 litres, less than a butt, so the spirit has more contact with the wood.

About the Distillery
In 2010 Chichibu was barely two years old and still working at a very small scale, with one mash tun, eight mizunara washbacks and a single pair of pot stills.
