CHICHIBU 2008 2cl 61,8%
Single Malt Whisky, Japan / Honshu - Saitama, 2cl, Ref: 2CL16303
ECHANTILLON DE 2CL
Embouteillé pour l’édition 2011 du Whisky Live Tokyo, ce Chichibu vieilli en fût de bourbon déroule un répertoire connu mais jamais pris en défaut. La céréale, la vanille et les fruits frais (poire) nous le montre dans son éclatante jeunesse, tout juste âgé de trois ans.
Pour fêter le dixième anniversaire de Whisky Live Tokyo, les organisateurs ont décidé de mettre en bouteille quatres whiskies exceptionnels. Avec la coopération de Venture Whisky, propriétaires et gérants de la distillerie de Chichibu, ils ont choisi trois single malts (deux Chichibu et un Hanyu) et un single grain de la distillerie fermée de Kawasaki. Mis en bouteilles tous les trois en brut de fût et adornés d'étiquettes créées spécialement, ces whiskies sont en voie de devenir de vrais collectors. Nous avons eu la chance cette année, comme l'année dernière, d'en recevoir, mais attention: les quantités sont très limitées et partiront vite!Actuellement la plus jeune des distilleries japonaises, Chichibu en est aussi l'une des plus promettantes. Fondée en 2008, la taille réduite de ses alambics, son approche artisanale et le talent de sa jeune équipe de distillateurs passionés lui permettent de créer un distillat de qualité surprenante.

The brand
Created in 2008, Chichibu Japanese single malt whisky is already well-known to Japanese whisky enthusiasts, and to whisky connoisseurs generally. Entirely produced at the distillery and soon, for some expressions, with local barley and peat, and even Japanese oak casks, Chichibu is on its way to becoming the first 100% Japanese whisky, thanks to the efforts of its creator, Ichiro Akuto. Fermented in vats made of mizunara (a variety of Japanese oak that is very highly regarded for whisky) and distilled in small stills, the resulting liquid presents a surprising maturity and complexity, even when it is very young. A beautifully crafted whisky.
The distillery
Founded in 2007 by Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of the founder of the Hanyu distillery, Chichibu has been active since February 2008. Consisting of two stills made to order in Scotland by Forsyth’s, this distillery has a very exclusive following, it is not only the first Japanese single malt distillery since Hakushu, but also the smallest. In 2008 Ichiro started selling a range of very young whiskies called ‘Newborn’, before launching his first ‘real’ whisky, a three-year-old at cask strength, at Whisky Live Paris 2011. The distillery also houses the last stocks of Karuizawa, Kawasaki and Hanyu, and has its own bottling facility.
