Ulf Buxrud: Whisky – The Final Edition: A tale of the supreme collectible

A tale of the supreme collectible, enjoyable and valuable iconic series ever made.

The book unfolds the story about the magnificent Playing Card Series from Hanyu and Chichibu Whisky Distilleries in Japan, distilled by the Akuto family and bottled by Ichiro Akuto-san.

The book is a 170-page book of coffee table size (29x29x1cm) and quality is near art book style.
Its content encompasses the story of the Chichibu-Kikusui, Hanyu, Chichibu distilleries and the Akuto family.

A chapter is dedicated to the complete Playing card series and how it started. Here, each bottle is the 'objets d'art', occupying a full page.  Opposite page contains Ulf's 58 tasting notes, technical descriptions and the flip side of the bottles.

All 58 bottle pictures are from Ulf's own Playing Card Series collection. Other sections comprise the series aftermath, auctions, rules and data, fakes and frauds.

A special chapter called Passing time, deals with experimental mixology on account of the Playing card series and summarizing tasting notes.
