This single-cask bottling of a Chichibu single malt, an original distillery bottling, was produced exclusively for Shinanoya Japan. The whisky was distilled in 2014, matured in a second-fill ex-bourbon cask, and was bottled at cask strength in 2023 in a run of 191 individually numbered bottles.
Chichibu is a distillery in the town of Chichibu in the far west of Saitama Prefecture, founded in 2004 by Ichiro Akuto. The owner's family has been distilling sake since 1625, and has also been producing blended whiskies since the 1940s. In 2008, they started producing their own single malt.
The whisky from Japan is like its makers. At first glance, reserved, respectful and polite. On closer inspection, however, enormously profound and multi-layered. Japanese whisky is the result of perfected craftsmanship. Many whiskies from Japan carry exotic fruity aromas and a floral bouquet in front of them.
