Chichibu 2013 Single Cask 7 Year Old / Acorn's 25th Anniversary

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 Chichibu was distilled in March 2013 and matured in single refill hogshead #2487 for 7 years. It was bottled in September 2020 by Acorn Limited, located in Sakado city, Japan.
