CHICHIBU ICHIRO'S WINE WOOD RESERVE 700ML

Style: Whisky

¿

Ichiro Akuto¿s was born into a family that brewed sake for more than 300 years. Around 1945 his grandfather started distilling whisky in addition to sake. Akuto¿s father, continued the Hanyu Distillery until Japan¿s economy downturn at the tun of the century and the marker for Sake fell out. 

Re-establishing the Hanyu distillery as Chichibu in 2008, Akuto bought his formidable skills, extensive experiences at Suntory and family legacy into the fold. Buying back 400 casks of Hanyu distillery whiskey he started his venture with the famous Ichiro¿s Malt Whisky and has expanded into single expressions and specialty releases that are highly regarded and sought after in the world of whisky. PWS

It¿s a deeply coloured malt (naturally so) with a uniquely vinous nose and nut, berry and spice overtones. The palate continues the spicy theme, with balancing sweetness and a finish tinged with dark chocolate and a whisper of smoke. Ask any distiller, and they will tell you that wine cask finishes can be tricky to pull off; you¿re in safe hands with this masterpiece. IMPORTER NOTES
