Chichibu 2012 Single Red Wine Cask #5743 / TWE

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 2012 and matured in ex-red wine cask #5743. The cask was selected by Speciality Drinks and split between two releases. The first was this one for The Whisky Exchange and the second was selected exclusively for Harvey Nichols and their Chichibu-Meisen Collection.

The cask yielded 270 bottles, 150 of which became this release.
