Chichibu 2014 Single Bourbon Cask #3912 75cl / Tokiwa Imports

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 whisky was distilled in 2014 and aged in single ex-Bourbon cask #3912. It was bottled in 2020 and made exclusive to Tokiwa Imports in the United States.

One of 202 bottles.
