Chichibu Single Cask #1700

Chichibu 2012 Single White Oak Cask #1700 

This single cask Chichibu was distilled in 2012 and placed into a single new American white oak cask.

Chichibu distillery in Saitama, Japan was opened in 2008, and was the country’s first new distillery since Suntory opened Hakushu back in 1973. Chichibu was the brainchild of Ichiro Akuto, grandson of the founder of the legendary Hanyu distillery. The Ichiro’s Malt brand appeared in 2005 and rose to fame through the bottling of the last casks from Hanyu, particularly the sought after ‘Card’ series. The first Chichibu releases appeared under it in 2011.

Exclusively bottled for Sweden at a cask strength of 62.4%.

One of 268 bottles.
