The third edition is matured in sherry casks and bottled at cask strength, with limited availability. These commemorative bottlings, created for specific channels or events, are not replenished once sold out. Coupled with the already scarce supply of sherry cask versions, this makes it a highly sought-after commodity in the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Chichibu\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChichibu Distillery was founded by Ichiro Akuto in Saitama Prefecture and began production in 2008.
