Chichibu Paris Edition 2022

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 fifth release of the Chichibu Paris Edition, this edition was matured in a combination of bourbon casks and peated Chichibu casks.

The 2022 edition features a total of 36 different labels that carry artwork by French painter Henri Rivière (b.1864-d.1951)

One of 1,900 bottles.
