Chichibu Edition Paris 2021 boasts captivating aromatic depth. The nose reveals luscious notes of vanilla and ripe fruit, carried by the richness of the first-fill bourbon cask, mingled with subtle touches of peat, red fruit and spicy wood from the port and virgin oak casks. On the palate, the attack is powerful, revealing intense flavors of peated malt, dried fruit and sweet spices, balanced by a fruity sweetness and unctuous texture. The finish is long, elegant and lightly smoky.

This bottling comes from a unique blend of 8 carefully selected casks, 5 from 2013 and 3 from 2014. These include first-fill bourbon casks, port casks, virgin oak casks, a red wine cask and Chibidaru Quarter Cask casks. The complex, harmonious blend of these different casks gives this whisky exceptional richness. Chichibu Edition Paris 2021 is bottled at 53.5% vol. for a full, intense expression of its aromas.

Chichibu is a young distillery founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto, located in the heart of Japan's mountainous Saitama region. Renowned for its small batches of whisky produced with artisanal care, it has rapidly established itself as a benchmark in the world of Japanese whisky. Each limited edition, like this Chichibu Edition Paris 2021, embodies Ichiro Akuto's passion and innovation, as well as the diversity of aging methods used at Chichibu.

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.
