Chichibu 2009 10 Year Old Artist #10 by La Maison du Whisky
Lot number: 115-01205
Winning bid: £1,300
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. With the perfect climate of humid summers and cold winters, Chichibu is an ideal location for whisky production and has become a huge part of the Japanese whisky revolution.
This Chichibu was released as part of the Artist 10th Edition by La Maison du Whisky and features a label designed by Eric Robin.
