Welcome to the exclusive Oscape Connoisseur’s Club. This is a private invite-only list. We work exclusively and directly with you for Japanese & Scotch Whiskey procurement directly from the distillery, 1-2 times annually, aligning with special events.
This is an opportunity to get the freshest, freshly tapped whiskey from the source. The best stuff – the rarest of the rare! Every major world distillery makes casks for certain special Distillery-only releases that you can only get at the distillery itself.
For many years I’ve been acquiring these:
- as long term investments
- as gifts for clients, friends, & coworkers
- collections for a personal or office bar
- to savor selfishly on my own
With Oscape Connoisseur’s Club, I’m offering to share the experience with you!
There is no price limit, we’ll handle the logistics, the fees, and work directly & exclusively with you for individual selection while we’re at the distillery.
Under certain business conditions, the cost of our service may be tax deductible.
Oscape Connoisseur’s Club has been distilled privately since 2016 and went live in 2024.
Current Edition

Suntory Yamazaki Distillery, Osaka, Japan
Established in 1923 by Masataka Taketsuru (who apprenticed in Scotland and brought back to Japan the “secrets of Scotch”), Yamazaki holds the distinction of being Japan’s oldest malt whisky distillery. The brand is known for a subtle, elegant flavor and rich history. Our exclusive tour was difficult to acquire – a slot hasn’t become available in the same time frame ever since!
Kirin Fuji Gotemba Distillery, Shizuoka, Japan
The world’s largest whisky distillery in production since 1973, Kirin Fuji’s spirits are distilled using the snowmelt of Mount Fuji itself. You don’t see much Fuji Gotemba whiskey outside of Japan. It’s the world’s only distillery with three types of grain whisky (American Bourbon, Canadian & Scottish) in addition to Scotch style malt from start to finish on a single estate.
Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu Distillery, Saitama, Japan
Birthing the craft distillery movement in 2008, Chichibu is the youngest and only independent distillery in Japan. Known for impeccable quality, the boutique operation innovates & experiments with various types of yeast, fermentation methods, and cask finishes. It is the only distillery in the world to use 100% Mizunara Japanese oak washbacks, creating a distinctly fruitier style of whiskey

How It Works
During our visit, we will work directly with you to procure your desired whiskey bottles, straight from the source.
Purchases will be coordinated by Email, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Google Chat, or Text SMS – and exactly to your specifications.
These include access to the rarest and most limited edition whiskies that can only be found and bought at the distillery itself.
Saving you the cost of going there – we’ll work directly with you on site to pick your whiskey. We will handle all logistics and fees – the packing, the transport and flight, baggage fees, even customs inspections and fees.
Procure as many bottles as our capacity & law allows; or just that one special bottle you’re looking for.
For your understanding, due to the nature of the some of the distilleries being small or independent, we sometimes encounter bottles-to-go scarcity or unavailability. We will do our best to source the limited supply we can find, hence the exclusivity of this club.
This service is an exclusive, direct client relationship to select the best whiskey available at a Distillery Special Event – the rarest of the rare!
