I tasted this exceedingly-rare whisky at Bar Fuji (Fukuoka Japan). This single-cask whisky was distilled in 2011, initially matured in a bourbon barrel, and then finished in a beer barrel, and bottled at Chichibu distillery in 2017 for Whisky Talk Fukuoka 2017. There were only 242 bottles in the release.
