Chichibu 2011 Single Cak #3291 For Yokohama Takashimaya
Lot number: 086-4809
Winning bid: £320
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, which was given a finishing period in an Imperial Stout cask, was bottled exclusively for Japanese department store Yokohama Takashimaya.
