The Owners Casks are a great way to taste single casks from Suntory.In Japan a lot of these sell for around half the price of Yamazaki and Hakushu's 'standard' 18YO. Usually pretty good value at bars there also at around Y1200-1300 a shot.
ReplyDeleteTasty review as well Clint, certainly made me want to try it. I love Chico's! :)
Thanks dramtastic. Yes, the pricing for a shot seems to sound about right, obviously it slightly differs depending on the bar but generally around there. Glad to see you love Chico's, to be honest I have not had them for years but it was one of the first notes that came to mind when tasting the 97 owner's cask.
