Chichibu 2010 Single Oloroso Cask Finish #2642 / Travel Exclusive

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 59.5%

Chichibu distillery in Saitama, Japan was opened in 2008, and was the country’s first new distillery since Suntory opened Hakushu back in 1973. Chichibu was the brainchild of Ichiro Akuto, grandson of the founder of the legendary Hanyu distillery. The Ichiro’s Malt brand appeared in 2005 and rose to fame through the bottling of the last casks from Hanyu, particularly the sought after ‘Card’ series. The first Chichibu releases appeared under it in 2011.

This whisky was distilled in December 2010 and first aged in a single ex-Bourbon cask. Before bottling in October 2016, it was finished in single ex-Oloroso sherry cask #2642.

One of 303 bottles made exclusive to Travel Retail.
