It's a single cask, cask #2463, bottled at 59.0% ABV, meticulously selected by Whisky Mew, an independent bottling brand founded by Japanese whisky critic Hideo Yamaoka. The bottle features the brand's signature cat illustration, leading collectors to refer to it as the \"Cat Label.\" The combination of a renowned selector, limited single-cask availability, and the auction market's preference for Chichibu's art\/animal labels makes this a highly sought-after release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Chichibu and Whisky Mew\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChichibu Distillery, located in Saitama Prefecture, began production in 2008.

Whisky Mew, on the other hand, operates as an independent bottler (IB): Hideo Yamaoka personally selects each cask and releases it under an independent brand, with his discerning selection itself being a major selling point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's important to clarify the category: This product is a \u003cb\u003eJapanese Single Malt Whisky\u003c\/b\u003e, not a blend.
