Iseya Distillery’s Scarlet Cask Marriage Series consists of extremely limited bottlings of their classic aperitivo aged in whisky barrels. Batch #6 was rested in empty barrels from Saitama’s legendary Chichibu Distillery for roughly a year before bottling, resulting in a brilliant melding of flavors that demand to be savored.
