Chichibu Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries 1 x 70cl & 1 x 20cl
Lot number: 126-02400
Winning bid: £140
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.
Ichiro Akuto, grandson of the distillery's founder, salvaged some casks and, after setting up the Chichibu distillery in 2008, blended the old and new whiskies together to create this little number.
46% ABV / 1 x 70cl & 1 x 20cl
