Chichibu 2009 Malt Dream Cask #540 For Bar Kitchen
Lot number: 086-4728
Winning bid: £520
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.
This single cask was bottled for the cult favourite Bar Kitchen in Fukuoka.
