A rare and exclusive Chichibu Japanese single malt whisky and the very rare first release in the Ichiro s Malt London Edition bottling series, bottled in the year 2018 exclusively for The Whisky Exchange in a limited edition of 929 individually hand-numbered bottles without the addition of colorings or chill filtration at cask strength 56.5% ABV.
The history of this exquisite Japanese single malt whisky is inextricably linked to one name: Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of the founder of the legendary Hanyu Distillery. When he established the Chichibu Distillery in the picturesque Saitama Prefecture around 70km north-west of Tokio in 2008, it was the first new distillery to be built in Japan since the 1970s. Under extreme climatic conditions - from sweltering hot summers to freezing cold winters - distillates mature here, developing an incomparable depth in record time. The exclusive Chichibu London Edition 2018 Japanese Single Malt Whisky was created as a special tribute to one of the world s most significant cities. The bottle features an artistic label design created specifically for this release, capturing the essence of the distillery in its purest form. It is a Japanese single malt whisky that carries the unmistakable DNA of Ichiro Akuto s uncompromising commitment to quality in every drop.
Despite its relatively young age, this Chichibu Japan Single Malt displays a complexity that delights even the most discerning connoisseurs. Matured exclusively in carefully selected ex-bourbon casks and bottled at an impressive 56.5% ABV, it is both powerful and yet astonishingly delicate. On the nose, the Chichibu London Edition 2018 Japanese single malt whisky reveals an inviting, floral bouquet with warm, sweet honey notes and delicate, aromatic vanilla; the palate is full-bodied, aromatic and profound, with rich honeyed sweetness, light summer fruits, subtle malty spice and an elegant, fresh oak note. The finish is long-lasting, warming and perfectly balanced with floral and sweet notes.
A special piece of Japanese whisky history from Ichiro Akuto: a unique Chichibu Japanese single malt whisky and the very rare first instalment of the annual London Edition bottling series for connoisseurs, discerning whisky collectors and lovers of exquisite Japanese single malt whiskies!
