To celebrate our first cask release we are doing a bottle opening event as a group via Zoom.

​

We are excited to announce Southern California Whiskey Club’s first foray into an exclusive single cask bottling for the club. We used our close connections with Ohishi Distillery to bring the first, and only, Madeira cask directly from Japan to Los Angeles. It was a cherry-pick that Chris Uhde made possible from all of his visits to the distillery that he earmarked for SCWC. A few months ago we tried a few samples and this is the one we were enamored with. As soon as it arrived in Long Beach we had a taste from the first case that was opened — it was even better than we remembered it. We are very happy with the selection and how well JVS has been taking care of the club to offer this super rare bottling. We are doing this in conjunction with Gabrielle Dion @ The Mixing Glass so we can sell this release of only 180 bottles.
