Chichibu 2009 A Decade As Number One
Lot number: 064-1943
Winning bid: £310
From its Mizunara wash backs and small stills with steep lyne arms to the fact that the mashman uses a wooden paddle to stir the mash, Chichibu is a hands-on distillery with quality as an intrinsic focus. With ground now broken on a blending room, and an off-site cooperage, Ichiro Akuto's distillery, formed from the ashes of his grandfather's Hanyu distillery, is one of the finest producers in Japan.
Most of the fans of Japanese whisky knows about Number One Drinks Company. Whom brought most of the infamous Karuizawa stock.
Well, they bottle some fantastic whisky and now they are celebrating the fact that this has been going on for a decade.
