Dive into the heart of one of Japan's premier whisky festivals with me at the highly anticipated Chichibu Whisky Festival 2024, held on Sunday 18 February 2024. 🥃✨ This video takes you on an unforgettable journey through one of the most revered events in the whisky world, nestled in the scenic, normally sleepy town of Chichibu, near Tokyo. Join me as I uncover what makes the Chichibu Whisky Matsuri a must-visit for whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of Japanese whisky, this video offers a rare glimpse into the passion, tradition, and innovation driving the Chichibu Whisky Festival. It's a celebration of culture, craftsmanship, and camaraderie that you won't want to miss.
Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more from the world of Japan's drinks. 🌎🥃

My favourite whisky KZfaqr is back! Great to see the whole town getting involved in this event and it’s easy to see why it attracted over 4000 people from across the globe. Some incredible and highly exclusive drams on offer - they run out quickly! Hats off to all the people bringing in such amazing drams to share as well (30 y/o Springbank 😮) the generosity is unreal! One day I hope to make it there - looks like a lot of fun!!! Congrats on winning the lottery on the lucky last ticket there too Mac. Looked like a great day there. Til next time - Kanpai 🥃!

Wow that was epic = epic report & epic video come back... 🥳 and congrats on winning the lottery ! looking forward to see the bottle in an upcoming video maybe👍Lots of exciting things there to try apparently, including our pals from Swell de Spirits (i'm surprised they made it as far as there because its a small family owned young craft company, but they do have already a great reputation & I'm not saying that because they're French lol). Kanpaï ! 🥃

So, does that bottle, even at the distillery, cost around USD 400+ after you won the ballot? Regardless, what an amazing experience! Does it take long to go from Tokyo?
