'Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.'

Mark Twain

Yep, the literary figure behind literary classics like the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and many more, really did say that. And that is indeed Mark Twain having a cigar and whisky in the label by the way.

We have it on good authority as per the Google search below.

It's always nice to meet another whisky lover isn't it? Can't help but wonder if he'd be into Chichibu whisky.

Well, we do and that's what we're having in this annual Chichibu US Edition 2025!

Ever since the Chichibu US Edition 2022, it appears that the folks behind the annual US Edition has gotten serious with making sure the labels slap! After years of a scroll of a label, we've now gotten Commodore Perry for Chichibu US Edition 2023, Mickey Mouse for US Edition 2024 (celebrating the release of the original Mickey Mouse copyright), and now Mark Twain! 

The new Chichibu US Edition 2025 is thus bottled at 52.5% ABV, with thus far no indication of other specifics like its age - but look, we'll take what we can get!

A big cheers to Mark Twain, who was born 190 years ago!
