• Batch Size: 165 bottles

• Size / Format: 50 ml miniature bottles for many of these releases

⭐ Collectibility & Rarity

• Extremely limited — only 165 bottles produced

• Miniature format plus collectible association makes it sought-after by collectors of rare Japanese whisky minis

• Small batch size and high demand mean bottles rarely appear on auctions or secondary markets, increasing collectible appeal

🧭 What to Know

• Verify the bottle number and series name to confirm it is from the 165-bottle limited run

• Check fill level, label condition, and seal integrity — condition is crucial for long-term value

• Miniature (50 ml) format; content and value differ from a full-size bottle

• Expect higher prices relative to standard bottlings due to rarity

✨ Why It’s Appealing

• Owning one of the 165 bottles makes it a meaningful addition to a serious collection

• Miniature size lowers cost and storage burden while still offering a piece of Japanese whisky heritage

• Good for collectors who value limited-edition releases and numbered bottlings

• Offers a taste of a small-batch Chichibu release with far greater scarcity than standard offerings
