Chichibu Australia Edition 2024

The inaugural release of Chichibu's Australian Edition which joins the well-known annual releases for Paris, London, and Taiwan.

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.

The label artwork features a W8-Class Tram. The W-class trams are collection of electric trams built between 1923 and 1956 by the Melbourne & Metropolitan Tramways Board.

One of 480 bottles.
