Its scarcity doesn't come from being discontinued, but from the nature of a single cask – once emptied, the exact same liquid cannot be replicated. Coupled with its status as a hotel-exclusive limited edition, it becomes a version that is difficult to restock in the secondary market, which is also the most significant bargaining chip for the seller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChichibu and Venture Whisky's Market Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChichibu Distillery, located in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, began production in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto.
