Chichibu 2016 Single Cask #14198 For TWE

Distilled in 2016 at the Ichiro Akuto’s Chichibu distillery – born from the legacy of the famed Hanyu – this single cask whisky embodies a dedication to traditional, hands-on production. Crafted with meticulous care, from wooden paddle-stirred mash to distillation in small stills with steep lyne arms, Chichibu benefits from Japan’s uniquely suited climate of humid summers and cold winters. Matured in a single wine cask (#14198) and bottled in 2024, this expression offers a complex and refined character at 59.5% ABV. One of only 310 bottles released, it represents a significant piece of the burgeoning Japanese whisky revolution.
