Chichibu 2011 Single Coedonado Beer Cask #3301 / TWE 20th Anniversary

Exclusively bottled for The Whisky Exchange's 20th anniversary, this single cask Chichibu was distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2019 from single cask #3301

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.

Matured in a Coedonado beer cask, a dark strong ale which was the result of a collaboration between Coedo brewery in Japan and Coronado on the American West Coast.

One of 224 bottles.
