Chichibu Ichiro's Malt - Paris Edition 2020 - 70cl

In 2007, Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of the founder of the Hanyu Distillery, started a new chapter in the history of whiskey in Japan by building the Chichibu Distillery.

Located about 70 km northwest of Tokyo, production began in February 2008.

The equipment includes a small mill, filter tank, Japanese oak (mizunara) fermentation tanks and a pair of small copper stills made by Forsyths of Rothes in Scotland.

Several different types of casks are used, including Bourbon, Sherry and Hogshead casks, all aged in a traditional Dunnage-style warehouse.

Reinforced by their environment, Chichibu whiskeys are unfiltered and uncolored.
