Chichibu 2011 Peated Single ex-Hanyu Cask #1401 / LMDW 60th Anniversary
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.
Distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2016, this has been matured in a single ex-Hanyu hogshead #1401. It was dpecially selected by La Maison du Whisky to celebrate their 60th anniversary.
The label features 2016 artwork Hanyanna Mask Edition #1 by Romain Fere.
