It belongs to the Chichibu Distillery's Private Cask series. The Private Cask series inherently has extremely low production, and coupled with the appeal of the railway co-branding, its circulation in the market is scarce, making it a continuous focus at auctions and among collectors in recent years. For those who hold this bottle and wish to sell it, this scarcity is the leverage for negotiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Chichibu and Founder Ichiro Akuto\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chichibu Distillery was founded by Ichiro Akuto.
