Chichibu, 10 year old, Japan, Single Malt Whisky (50.5%, 70cl)

Chichibu 10 Year Old is a Japanese single malt whisky from the Chichibu distillery founded by Ichiro Akuto. Aged for a full ten years and bottled at 50.5 percent ABV, it reflects the careful and deliberate approach that defines the distillery. Age statement releases from Chichibu are uncommon and produced in small quantities, which makes this bottling particularly sought after. In the glass, it shows a refined balance of fresh malt orchard fruit gentle oak and subtle spice, with clarity and structure rather than weight. For collectors and long time followers of Chichibu, this is a meaningful age stated release from one of Japan’s most closely watched distilleries.
