Chichibu 2010 Single Cask #2653 For Takashimaya
Lot number: 086-4790
Winning bid: £460
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 Japanese department store Takashimaya.
