Chichibu 8 Year Old Single Cask #646 75cl - Tokiwa Import

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 Chichibu was matured in single bourbon barrel #646 for 8 years. It was bottled in 2018 and exclusively imported to the United States by Tokiwa Imports.
