Chichibu distillery was founded in 2004 by Ichiro Akuto, and produced its first spirit in 2008. It was the first new Japanese distillery since 1973 and now boasts being one of the major players in the Japanese whisky market. It is located at Chichibu, a city the heart of a mountainous region of Saitama Prefecture in the village of Chichibu, the distillery is only a little less than 2 hours by train from central Tokyo, and enjoys hot and heavy summers and cold and dry winters. This climate allows the distillery to produce the whisky quicker than other local distilleries.
An award winning expression from the Chichibu Distillery, named “World’s Best Blended Limited Release” at the annual World Whiskies Awards in three of the past five years. Judges notes: “Rich with slight hints of sulphur. A burst of fresh mint is mixed with slightly peaty notes. A powerful dram”. Collectable is making an understatement.
