The ninth edition of the Lucky Cat series and the second Double Individuals release features two of the distillery’s beloved cats, Hana and Choco—a pair of sisters with their own unique appearances and personalities that serve as the inspiration for this blend of malt and grain whiskies. Hana, a “big, gentle baby,” is represented by the warm approachability of wine and Oloroso sherry casks, while Choco’s rambunctious, energetic disposition is represented by bold Spanish oak, resulting in a harmonious blend that reflects these two individuals mellowing out together.
