Chichibu distillery, located in Saitama prefecture, north of Tokyo, is owned by Venture Whisky, a Japanese whisky producer under the Ichiro’s Malt brand.


In 2007, Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of the founder of the Hanyu distillery, started a new chapter in Japan's whisky history by building Chichibu distillery.


Situated about 70km north-west of Tokyo, production began in February 2008.


The equipment includes a small mill, a mash tun, washbacks  made of Jpanese oak (mizunara) and a pair of small copper stills manufactured by Forsyths of Rothes, Scotland.


Several different casks types are used, including Bourbon barrels, Sherry butts and Hogsheads, all matured in a traditional Dunnage style warehouse.


Enhanced by their environment, Chichibu whiskies are non-chill filtered and not coloured.

Nose: creamy, fruity orange notes and sweet chocolate and liquorice flavours.

Taste: sweet, rich sherry and red fruit notes, some spices are revealed.

Finish: on spices and chocolate.
