A local japanese whisky distillery called Venture Whisky founded by Akuto Ichiro and based in the mountains of Chichibu (JAPAN) is gaining more and more attention among whisky fans, especially on their Ichiro's malt production. One of their secrets lies in the production of their own whisky barrels. A few years after their production debut they quickly wanted to have a barrel that fits their product in order to produce good whisky.
In particular, they create a specific barrel, a Japanese barrel using mizunara oak coming straight from the cold mountains of Hokkaido. Have a glimpse inside Venture Whisky’s cooperage, one of the five only barrel factories in Japan.
