What Is a Whisky Lottery?

A whisky lottery is a random-selection sales service where one bottle is delivered per ticket from a publicly disclosed lineup.

Not knowing which bottle arrives — that element of surprise — adds a touch of excitement to everyday life.

Every ticket in Tachibana E-Shuhan's lottery has a prize, and there's always a chance of landing a coveted premium bottle.

From the moment you open the box, the whisky experience becomes richer and more exciting — and a chance encounter with an unfamiliar label may quietly expand your whisky world.
