Chichibu Newborn Double Matured Cask 446

Product Description

Single cask 446 non-peated. A very rare opportunity to sample the wares of Japans newest distillery. We have tried this & despite the tender age this spirit is astonishing. 355 bottles. Chichibu Chichibu Distillery was established by Ichiro Akuto in 2007 & commenced distilling in March 2008. The distillery is situated north-west of Chichibu city close to the Arakawa River on the main island of Honsh? & resting at an altitude of 240 meters in the foothills of the Chichibu Mountains. Chichibu Distillery is a very wee malt whisky distillery equipped with five small Japanese oak washbacks & just two small stills. Spirit is filled into a range of casks including Japanese Oak (Quercus mongolica) & matured in warehouses at the distillery. There are plans to malt Japanese barley on Chichibu’s own malting floors, to use local peat in the kiln furnace & a bottling plant at the distillery is planned. Chichibu Distillery released its very first whisky named Chichibu The First in October 2011. No tasting notes at present.
