Product details
Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu represents the uncompromising vision of Ichiro Akuto, whose family heritage in Japanese craft production dates back to the 17th century. Established in 2008 in Saitama Prefecture, Chichibu has quickly earned global recognition for its meticulous attention to detail and small-scale releases prized by collectors worldwide. The London Edition 2025 is a carefully composed selection drawn from a limited number of individually matured casks, shaped over time in a thoughtful balance of American and European oak. This release reflects both tradition and innovation, offering depth, elegance, and a distinctly modern Japanese character that continues to elevate the Chichibu name on the international stage.
On the nose, bright notes of mandarin and fresh ginger lead into rich vanilla custard and a subtle savory undertone. The palate unfolds with layers of candied citrus, dark chocolate, and brown sugar, delivering a smooth yet expressive texture. As it develops, dried fruits and gentle baking spices emerge, adding warmth and complexity. The finish is long and refined, leaving a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice that lingers with quiet sophistication.
