Ichiro's Malt Chichibu - Single Cask World Blended Whisky Series 2021

This special bottling marks the Chichibu Whisky Matsuri 2021, celebrating the artistry of global cask sourcing. Drawn from cask #5676 and bottled in 2019, this expression showcases the vision and craftsmanship that define Ichiro Akuto’s Chichibu distillery. Aged in a carefully selected ex-Bourbon cask, it offers a unique profile shaped by both international influence and Japanese precision.

At a robust 59.2% ABV, the whisky is bold yet refined, delivering a complex, full-bodied palate. Expect bright notes of vanilla cream and toasted coconut, evolving into ripe stone fruits, soft caramel, and a subtle thread of oak spice. The mouthfeel is rich and oily, with a long, warming finish that lingers on hints of baking spice and charred citrus peel.

With only 216 bottles released, and this being bottle #34, it’s an exceptionally rare collector’s item and a tribute to the spirit of whisky exploration. A must-have for connoisseurs seeking something truly special from Chichibu.

Whether you’re adding to a curated collection or opening it for a meaningful dram, this bottling offers a singular whisky experience—celebratory, complex, and unforgettable.
