Chichibu 2010 Single Mizunara Cask #1000 / Number One Drinks

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 2010 and bottled in 2018, this has been matured in single Mizunara Hoghsead #1000. Mizunara is a rare Japanese variety of oak. Extremely porous, the resultant high angel share makes it's use very expensive but it contributes a unique and highly prized flavour profile. 

Exclusively bottled for Number One Drinks.
