Chichibu 2009 Single Cask #2360 For Tokyo International Bar Show 2015
Lot number: 086-4664
Winning bid: £490
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.
This single cask was bottled for the Tokyo International Bar Show, at 2015's Whisky Expo in Japan.
