Chichibu 2010 Whisky Talk Fukuoka 2015

Distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2015 for the Japanese ‘Whisky Talk’ festival in Fukuoka, this Chichibu whisky embodies the meticulous, hands-on approach of Ichiro Akuto’s distillery – a legacy reborn from his grandfather’s famed Hanyu. Crafted with traditional methods, including wooden mash stirring and unique still designs, Chichibu benefits from Japan’s ideal whisky-making climate of humid summers and cold winters. This expression, matured in a combination of first-fill barrel and third-fill puncheon casks, delivers a robust 60.8% ABV and a complex flavour profile reflective of its careful production and unique wood influence. It represents a significant contribution to the burgeoning Japanese whisky revolution, showcasing quality and dedication in every drop.
