Chichibu 2016 Foundations is a single malt from Chichibu Distillery in Saitama Prefecture, founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto. Distilled in 2016, it matured for eight years in a Bordeaux red wine cask, number 14044, and was bottled as a limited release of 268 bottles.
It is bottled at a cask strength of 65.5% in a 70cl bottle, non-chill-filtered and with no added colour.
The nose shows dark berries and red grapes, with subtle wood and a touch of vanilla. The palate is complex and intense, with ripe fruit and spice, plus a gentle spiciness from the Bordeaux cask. The finish is long and warm, balancing fruit and cask character.
