The Chichibu Paris Edition, bottled at a robust 57.3%, is a distinguished release that captures the essence of Japanese craft and innovation in whisky production. This limited edition, with only 1357 bottles available, is a highly sought-after collector’s item and epitomizes the depth and complexity for which Chichibu Distillery is renowned.
**Chichibu Distillery**, founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto, a descendant of a rich lineage of sake brewers, swiftly made a name for itself in the world of whisky. Located in the small town of Chichibu, near Tokyo, it experiences a range of climatic conditions which greatly influence the aging process of the whisky. The combination of hot summers and cold winters facilitates an accelerated maturation, imparting rich, intense flavors to its whiskies despite their relative youth. This distillery emphasizes small-scale, meticulous production processes, including the use of their own floor-malted barley and traditional mashing methods.
The Paris Edition is a manifestation of Chichibu’s craft, a special release for the Whisky Live Paris event. It stands out with its intense strength of 57.3%, promising a rich, full-bodied experience. The meticulous selection process for this edition means that each of the 1357 bottles contains a blend tailored to reflect both the distillery’s signature style and the unique character suitable for the exclusive occasion it represents.
The bottle size of 70 cl is standard among premium whiskies, ensuring that connoisseurs have ample quantity to appreciate its depth over multiple tastings. Being an official bottler release, it maintains the highest standards of authenticity and quality control from Chichibu, assuring enthusiasts of the purest expression of the distillery's craftsmanship.
