Chichibu 8 Year Old Single Bourbon Cask #646 / Tokiwa Import

Volume: 750ml / ABV: 60.6%

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.

A single cask from the Chichibu distillery which was exclusively imported to the United States by Tokiwa Imports.

The whisky has been aged for 8 years and was laid to rest in a ex-Bourbon cask.

One of 171 bottles.
