Great Video, informative and entertaining.🎉

This can now be bought in Israel. Prices are on average about 500 Shekels (about £100). It is not approved for the strictly kosher consumer as (as you say) it does contain some wine cask maturation.

Great sneak preview, Mac!

Sounds delicious Mac but it'll be very hard to find for us I'm assuming. Maybe at London in September let's see.

Wow what a video! You get medical info, sake history, 2 different spirit reviews, cocktails and food! Thanks guys, absolute delight to watch!

Brilliant video Mac, thanks so much for the information. I always learn a lot from your videos. Kanpai 🥃

Thanks for unique content!❤

Amazing interview Mac! Appreciate your honesty! Thanks for the front row seat for the tasting of the new OTW !

Sounds like a great one.

I liked it too. Armandrinksss

Wow 😮I hope it’s bloody good Mac for the price point too!!! 😊✌🏻

very interestingly that when a week before you released your last video on the red wine cask I bought my first chichibu. And a week ago before you released this video, it happened I bought my second bottle of chichibu, the 2022 peated 😆 really want to see someday if I can buy this On the way 2024 at a reasonable price 😊

Great review. Perfect,like always. KANPAI

That was fun. Never tried a Chichibu.

Great stuff. Let’s see what happens with chichiboooooo later

Bravo Mac. I can't wait to hunt this bottle.

Great video, Mac. Thanks for sharing this in your distinctive way. Always interesting and enjoyable to watch. Slàinte mhath / Kanpai

Intriguing, I hope the Whisky Live Paris stand next September won't be too busy to let me approach it to taste it, Mac...and Yumi is lovely. I had the chance to try the 2013 release here & loved it, but prices were already high at that time & other Japanese distilleries (especially the Nikka & Suntory group ones) were releasing almost their last crazy good bottlings before the 2015 shortage...Thanks for these first promising impressions & all infos !

Reviewing before a general release. Talk about being VIP! Incredible video as always. Thank you for sharing.

love your vids mac, pls keep it up! and would love to try this whisky!

Great tasting note and really interesting interview! Will keep my eyes open for this one. Really a big fan of Chichibu

Great interviews. All the information that makes you want to drink as soon as possible🎉

Great video Mac! nice to see Yumi again. She is a really passionate, eloquent speaker. Great concept, great story, great whisky. I am sure most people watching this video will be on the way to wanting to try this !!

Great content Mac! Super informative, hopefully I can get my hands on a bottle!

New comment (hoping it doesn't disappear like previous one, not your fault, Mac, but due to some weird mysterious YT trickery ?) : Great video, Mac, dense & very informative (as always) & with a great background story for this brand. Also kudos to Nanbu for this "tour de force"' from them to create a gin with only 2 ingredients (plus of course the rice base spirit) ! I think also that, as for every country, it is often very interesting (if not crucial at least to try) to pair one's region food with same region wine & or spirits. Couldn't help pouring me something special to go along your video, the only unaged Japanese spirit that I have except Ki No Bi gin, an indie bottlings Shochu (details/pics on your Instagram DM). So yeah, well done, Mac & Kanpaï ! 👍

Absolutely fantastic video Mac and Chris really added depth to it. Cheers to Nanbu Bijin

Nanbu Bijin is a great brewery - Kuji san is inspiring and leading the industry! We should try this vodka and gin!

Great video! Tried them both and excited to see what their whisky will be like ☺️

Great story, and very intriguing mix of ingredients and terroir in this spirits. Cheers, Mac!

Hey Mac (and Chris)! Is any part of the vodka’s sake-like flavor due to koji? Is it used in the process at all? The description makes the flavor sound similar to kome shochu, but I know that starts as sake made via multiple parallel fermentation which then gets distilled. Either way, sounds delicious, can’t wait to try it. Cheers, awesome episode!

Would love to try the vodka, even though I am not a vodka person. This one sounds interesting. Unlikely I will find it around here.

Another great video, Mac. These really are well-produced.

If I see a bottle from this company in any of my liquor stores, I'm buying them. Nanbu Bijin is a legend.

Love this story and I also love Vodka, Gin and Japan. This is pretty much my perfect blend.

Great to hear an inspiring story…but less so to have another two bottles on the list of future acquisitions. We need more videos from Kanpai Planet though!

Fantastic. I should try both vodka and gin..! It’s a little off topic but when I visited Nanbubijin last year, I had white birch juice that is 100% pure sap of the tree, which was the weirdest drink I’ve ever had, with water-like texture with syrupy sweetness but without wood notes.. I guess the vodka doesn’t reflect the flavor of white birch still interesting to try

He’s back! Also love that you have Chris on board for this one as well. It’s great to have two expert opinions that compliment each other, and the delivery from each of you creates a new and refreshing dynamic for the video. You know it’s a good Vodka if you’re both spending as long nosing it as you would a decent whisky! One thing that seems quite common across many of your guests and in the spirits they produce is that they’re exceptionally good at capturing the character of the region and the local ingredients often shine through very well. Kosuke also seems like a really jovial and likeable guy, not to mention having a huge heart. Jealous of the food and cocktail pairing at the end - definitely got hungry watching this video haha!

Love the backstories you give. My second time to watch this one. I still have an unopened bottle of the 12 that I will open for some occasion not too far in the future.

Just bought the miyagikyo after sampling at a whiskey event. Already enjoying Yoichi looking forward to trying them side by side. Really enjoyed your review. First time watching channel will definitely be watching more👍

Good stuff, Mac. Many thanks...

Nice video! Beautiful color. Beautiful bottle. I'll have to watch others enjoy this delight like Charlie standing outside of a candy store window. lol

Right at the start, two, Oh Wow’s! Thanks for sharing!

Why did they demo the distillery?

great vid.

There are magical moments in life when you get the opportunity to taste an extremely rare and expensive whisky (or wine) that are worth the money just for its historical significance. Even if there are better bottles for far less money, its the story you're buying and tasting not just the whisky. Thanks for sharing! 🥃

Great presentation to contextualize this special dram. Cheers!
