Chichibu 2012 Single White Bordeaux Cask #2279 / Oswald's Members Club

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 2012 and matured in white Bordeaux cask #2279 before being bottled in 2019.

One of 100 bottles filled from part of the cask for Oswald's Members Club. The remainder was bottled for Milroy's of Soho.
