Chichibu Ichiro's Malt The Peated 2012
Lot number: 071-1019
Winning bid: £190
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 the 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.
A long-awaited whisky from Chichibu, combining their young but well-developed style with peated barley for a rich and smoky Japanese dram.
Distilled: 2012
Bottled: 2016
54.5% ABV / 70cl
