CHICHIBU Distillery II - 55 %
Located in Chichibu, about 100 kilometers from Tokyo, the distillery founded by Ichiro Akuto has established itself in just a few years as a pillar of artisanal Japanese whisky. Heir to a line of distillers linked to the famous Hanyu, Akuto has revived family know-how while instilling a modern and ambitious vision. Starting with only a few stills, Chichibu has distinguished itself with its confidential bottlings, marked by precision and creativity.
The Chichibu Distillery II – 55% exemplifies this philosophy. Aged in small batches in a selection of carefully chosen casks, this single malt reveals a rich and balanced profile. The nose opens with delicious aromas of ripe fruit, honey, and vanilla, enhanced by a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, the intensity is remarkable: full-bodied, structured, and elegantly oaky, it stretches into a long, refined finish.
A true vintage of character, Distillery II is aimed at demanding amateurs and collectors in search of a rare, authentic and intensely aromatic Japanese whisky.
