The team at Chichibu call this the world of whiskey for its blend of 3-5 year old whiskies from England, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Scotland and of course Japan. While the exact mix is under lock and key you can taste stone fruits like apricot and peach, and notice the absence of peat.
We love this whiskey for its outside-the-box thinking and global reach in terms of whiskey raw materials. The careful artisanship and incredible palate has ventured out across the world to bring a global whiskey story into a single bottle, the result a remarkable whiskey that is truly a one of its kind offering.
While Ichiro Akuto's family history in brewing and distilling stretches back to the 1600s, his own journey in the world of Japanese whisky began with the rescue of Hanyu Distillery's equipment and maturing stocks in 2000. From there, he established Chichibu distillery, known for its rarity and quality. With attention to detail and experimentation, Chichibu produces unpeated and peated whiskies using various casks, including Mizunara oak. The distillery's small size allows for flexibility and unique expressions.
