Chichibu – On The Way 2019 Release (70cl, 51.5%)

Chichibu – On The Way 2019 Release is a whisky from Chichibu (Saitama). Bottled at 51.5% ABV, 70cl. From its Mizunara wash backs and small stills with steep lyne arms to the fact that the mashman uses a wooden paddle to stir the mash, Chichibu is a hands-on distillery with quality as an intrinsic focus. With the ground now broken on a blending room, and an off-site cooperage, Ichiro Akuto’s distillery - formed from the ashes of his grandfather’s Hanyu distillery - is one of the finest producers in Japan. With the perfect climate of humid summers and cold winters, Chichibu is an ideal location for whisky production and has become a huge part of the Japanese whisky revolution. ‘On the way’ from the Chichibu distillery in Japan is made from a selection of 3 different types - first and refill bourbon barrels and Mizunara Japanese white oak, the latter containing some of the oldest whisky made at the distillery..
