product Details

Chichibu 2011 Single Bourbon Cask #1292 / LMDW

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 unpeated whisky was distilled in March 2011 and laid to rest in single first-fill ex-Bourbon cask #1292 before being bottled in 2017.

This release was made exclusive to legendary French spirit merchants, La Maison du Whisky. The label features the artwork Water Iris by Asuka Irie.
