DESCRIPTION

The Chichibu Single Cask for Germany is a single malt whisky bottled exclusively for the German market. Distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2023, this 9-year-old whisky matured entirely in a French red wine cask from the Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste (Bordeaux) winery. With an alcohol content of 62.4% ABV, this whisky was bottled at cask strength and is the first release in the Lighthouse Series.

The Chichibu Single Cask for Germany impresses with a complex bouquet of dark berries, red fruits, and a hint of chocolate. Subtle notes of vanilla and oak complete the aroma profile. On the palate, this whisky is full-bodied and multi-layered. Fruity aromas harmoniously blend with notes of spices and toasted oak, complemented by a slight pepperiness.

The finish is long-lasting and warming, with a gentle sweetness and a trace of tannin that leaves a pleasant dryness. The Chichibu Single Cask for Germany is non-chill filtered and free from artificial coloring, preserving its natural aromas and texture.

With a limited release of only 279 bottles, this whisky is an exclusive bottling that appeals to both collectors and connoisseurs.

  • Chichibu - Japanese Whisky

    In the realm of Japanese whisky, the Chichibu Distillery, established by Venture Whisky in 2008, stands as a beacon of innovation and excellence. As the first independent distillery in Japan in over three decades, Chichibu has rapidly gained international acclaim, carving out a prestigious reputation in the world of fine whiskies.

    Founded by Ichiro Akuto, a descendant of a 21-generation lineage in alcohol production, Chichibu Distillery is a culmination of historical expertise and modern vision. The Akuto family's journey in alcohol production began with sake in 1625 in Chichibu, Saitama, evolving over centuries to embrace whisky under the guidance of Ichiro's grandfather, Isouji Akuto.

    Chichibu Distillery is renowned for crafting some of the finest Japanese whiskies available today, a testament to Ichiro Akuto's dedication and skill. Despite initial reluctance to join the family business, Ichiro's decision to leave his job at Suntory and take over Toa Shuzo's whisky operations marked a pivotal moment in his career and the future of Japanese craft whisky.

    After Toa Shuzo's bankruptcy in 2000 and the subsequent sale of the company, Ichiro established Venture Whisky to rescue his family's legacy, including the precious whisky stocks from the Hanyu Distillery. This bold move not only preserved these valuable assets but also laid the foundation for the iconic Card Series and provided Chichibu with a treasure trove of aged whiskies for blending.

    At Chichibu Distillery, the commitment to replenishing whisky stocks ensures that future generations can enjoy the exquisite craft of Japanese whisky. The distillery's approach combines traditional methods with innovative techniques, producing whiskies that are celebrated for their quality, complexity, and unique character.

    Discover Chichibu Distillery, where each bottle is a symbol of Japanese whisky heritage and craftsmanship, continuing to flow and inspire the global whisky community.
