*RARE* Chichibu 'The US Edition' Single Malt 2022

The Chichibu 'The US Edition' Single Malt 2022 is a rare and exciting release from Japan’s renowned Chichibu Distillery, founded by Ichiro Akuto. This distillery is a favorite among whisky enthusiasts for its dedication to traditional techniques combined with innovative approaches, producing small-batch, high-quality whiskies that showcase the heart of Japanese craftsmanship.

This particular edition is a single malt whisky crafted exclusively for the US market, making it a sought-after collectible. Distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2022, it represents a 10-year maturation—rare for Chichibu, given their usual younger releases. Aged in carefully selected casks, the whisky combines Japanese oak (Mizunara), ex-bourbon barrels, and other cask finishes to create a complex and harmonious flavor profile.

Tasting Notes:
