Seventeen-year aged rice and barley spirits meet thirty-year aged rice spirit in a blend made entirely from old components. Released in an annual quantity of around 300 bottles, it is a study in how a very small allocation can hold a long chronology.
Seventeen years beside thirty
CHOKOSHU TOROSHIKAYA is blended from seventeen-year aged rice and barley spirits and thirty-year aged rice spirit. The bottle contains no new spirit. Its small annual allocation of around 300 bottles makes the extended maturation central, rather than incidental.
Precision over borrowed claims
This release brings together long-aged rice and barley spirits, extended cask maturation and a carefully limited annual production.
Nishiki, Kuma, Kumamoto — Rokuchoshi Distillery
Rokuchoshi Distillery was founded in 1923 in Nishiki, Kuma, Kumamoto. Its expressions begin with the rice-distilling culture protected by the Kuma GI, and its cask programme asks how time can deepen that foundation without obscuring it.
