Crafted with meticulous attention – from wooden washbacks and small, uniquely shaped stills to hand-stirred mash – Chichibu benefits from a climate ideal for maturation. This expression, bottled in 2022 from bourbon barrel #3873, presents a robust 60% ABV and delivers a complex flavour profile reflective of its careful production and the influence of Mizunara oak. A rare bottling of just 192, bottle number 119 showcases the artistry at the heart of the Japanese whisky revolution.
