Ichiro's Malt Chichibu - On The Way 2015

Introducing a rare and highly sought-after expression from Ichiro's On The Way range, this Chichibu whisky is a testament to the distillery's commitment to excellence and innovation. Bottled in 2015, this particular release is bottle number 9948 out of a limited edition of 10700 bottles.

What sets this whisky apart is its unique composition—a masterful blend of multi-vintage spirits, carefully selected from various batches distilled since the distillery's inception in 2008. This means that the whisky showcases the craftsmanship and maturation expertise accumulated over the years, offering a glimpse into the distillery's journey "on the way" to perfection.

To further enhance the complexity and depth of flavors, the whisky underwent a special finishing process. After maturing in bourbon casks, some of the oldest and most exceptional casks were selected for additional maturation in Mizunara oak casks. Mizunara, a rare and prized Japanese oak, infuses the whisky with its distinct aromas of sandalwood, incense, and spices, imparting a unique character that sets it apart from other whiskies.

The result is a truly exceptional whisky that beautifully balances the influence of bourbon casks with the exotic and aromatic qualities of Mizunara oak. Each sip reveals layers of complexity, with notes of vanilla, tropical fruits, spices, and a subtle hint of sandalwood, creating an exquisite drinking experience that is both indulgent and memorable.
