CHICHIBU The First Ten 2cl 50,5%
Single Malt Whisky, Japan / Honshu - Saitama, 2cl, Ref: 2CL58518
ECHANTILLON DE 2CL
La route des 10 ans fut longue et intense !
Après l'édition 2013 (fûts âgés de 3 à 5 ans) puis l’édition 2015 (fûts âgés 5 à 7 ans) et enfin l'assemblage de fûts âgés de 7 à 10 ans, la série des On the Way (en route pour le 10 ans !) a pris fin. Place au tant attendu 10 ans de Chichibu : The First Ten.
Assemblage d'environ 26 fûts qui ont tous vieilli pendant plus de 10 ans. Principalement en fût de bourbon de 1er remplissage mais aussi en fût de Mizunara, en fût de sherry et ainsi de suite. Une petite portion de whisky tourbé apporte de la complexité à l'assemblage que l'on retrouve en dégustation.
Une douceur mielleuse complète les riches notes fruitées. La bouche est rafraîchissante de fruits verts frais, complétée une légère tourbe qui donne une belle profondeur. La finale est longue et intense.
Profil : Riche, fruité, intense. Miel, fruits verts frais, épices.

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.
