Description

The Berlin Release is a distillery-selected single-cask event bottling from Chichibu in Saitama, drawing from the 2012 vintage and matured in Ex-Bourbon wood. Chichibu, Venture Whisky's distillery founded by Ichiro Akuto in 2008, has released city- and event-named bottlings alongside its standard single-cask programme, typically targeting specialist whisky events in international markets.

The flavour profile for this NAS cask-strength release covers coal-gas, citrus, honey, malt extract, new wood and a characteristically sweaty funk, a wide aromatic range that points to a young, energetic spirit from Ex-Bourbon oak. At 63.3% the delivery is full-force, unfiltered and direct. The combination of the city dedication and the vivid aromatic character makes the Berlin Release a distinct and well-documented event bottling from the 2012 distillation year.
