This Chichibu single cask—made from Odyssey barley and matured in a first-fill bourbon cask—offers a rare look at the distillery’s peated style. With a phenol level of 50 ppm, it balances vibrant smoke with remarkable finesse, weaving together citrus brightness, aromatic herbs, malt richness, and Chichibu’s signature orchard-fruit elegance. The result is a whisky that showcases peat not as a blunt force, but as a living, expressive element—floral, herbal, fruity, and full of movement.

Founded in 2007 by Ichiro Akuto, the Chichibu distillery sits near the Arakawa River in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo. Since releasing its first single malt in 2008, Chichibu has become one of the world’s most admired new-generation whisky producers, beloved by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
