Ichiro's Malt Chichibu On The Way Japanese Single Malt Whisky

Incredibly fruity with plenty of body, the initial apple, pear, and spike of pepper are overtaken by golden syrup, vanilla, pastry, candied fruits, and fruity desserts. Stick with cask strength: Water releases gooseberry sharpness and quells the spices.

Distillery Information

It started three centuries ago when the first of Ichiro Akuto’s forefathers began making alcoholic beverages in countryside of Saitama, Japan. His grandfather opened the now legendary Hanyu Distillery in the mid-1940’s and began making malt whiskies that thrived right alongside the Japanese economic boom of the 1980’s. However, when the economic bubble burst in the 1990’s, so too did the first Japanese whisky boom, leading Hanyu Distillery and many others to close their doors indefinitely. Ichiro saved his grandfathers’ last remaining whisky casks and slowly released them in a variety of bottlings, to a surprisingly cold reception. His final release, The Playing Card Series, is now legendary with individual bottles being considered the unicorns of the Japanese whisky world.
