Chichibu Ichiro's 2009 The Peated
Lot number: 081-0775
Winning bid: £155
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.
A long-awaited whisky from Chichibu, combining their young but well developed style with peated barley for a rich and smoky Japanese dram.
Distilled: 2009
Bottled: 2012
50.5% ABV / 70cl
