This unusual single-barrel whiskey is not technically a bourbon, because of where it was bottled. It was distilled in Kentucky in 2006, and initially matured in new charred oak barrels. It was then transferred to a Chichibu refill puncheon in 2012, finished for an additional 8 years, and bottled in Japan for Bar Milwaukee's Club (Kawaguchi, Japan). Thank you Nate for the opportunity to enjoy this rare and delicious dram!
