On the nose, Chichibu Red Wine Cask 2023 evokes a subtle balance between notes of honey, delicate wood and a seductive blend of fruits such as medlar, forest berries and citrus. On the palate, rich, fruity flavors reveal accents of blueberry, refreshing citrus and medlar, supported by vegetal and woody nuances of mint, cedar and licorice. The long, intoxicating finish reveals a pleasant, subtly spiced bitterness of clove and orangette, accompanied by a lingering sweetness reminiscent of milk chocolate.

This special edition of just 11,800 bottles is a blend of single malts aged exclusively in red wine casks. Meticulously selected by Ichiro Akuto, these casks come from renowned vineyards in France, the USA, New Zealand and Japan, giving this single malt complex flavors. Unchill-filtered and naturally colored with slight red highlights, this whisky takes advantage of the unique qualities of the casks to enrich its aromatic profile.

Product limited to 1 bottles per order.

The distillery

The distillery Chichibu

Ichiro Akuto, grandson of the founder of the Hanyu distillery, decided in 2007 to build a new whisky distillery in the town of Chichibu, 100 kilometers northwest of Tokyo.


Located near the old Hanyu distillery, the local climate with harsh winters and hot & humid summers, gives a certain maturity to the whiskies produced in Chichibu despite their relative young age (production started in 2008).


A small distillery, Chichibu produces in small quantities, but the remaining stocks of Hanyu, Kawasaki and Karuizawa, now exhausted but having been housed there, have allowed Ichiro Akuto to compose rare and exceptional blends. In 2020, the first of Ichiro Akuto's dreams came true with the first 10 year old single malt distilled, aged and blended in Chichibu and a long history beginning to be written.
