Boiler is part of a series of single cask releases from Chichibu Distillery named for crucial pieces of machinery used throughout the whisky-making process, featuring labels that use color and waveforms to visually represent that process—in this case, the water boiler used at the distillery. This release was aged entirely in a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead for seven years.
