PREMIUM SPIRIT RELEASE

Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The Peated 2026 Single Malt

89

Crafted by Ichiro Akuto, revered as one of the world’s premier distillers and blenders, this release comes from the original Chichibu distillery, the first new Japanese whisky distillery to open in 37 years when it launched in 2006. This highly anticipated peated single malt is being released for the first time since 2022, creating immense demand among Japanese whisky collectors. The whisky is vatted from over 40 carefully selected casks, all heavily peated at a robust 50 PPM. The core profile is built on bourbon barrel maturation, which is strategically enhanced with oloroso sherry casks to deliver exceptional complexity.

Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The BC Single Cask Edition II Cask #13876

90

This is the second ever BC exclusive single cask from the famed Chichibu Distillery. Aged in a first-fill bourbon cask, it delivers complex orchard fruit flavours. The unique climate and terroir of the distillery means Chichibu whisky ages at a minimum of two to three times the rate of Continental Europe. As a result, this 7-year-old whisky delivers the profound depth, texture, and complexity typically reserved for a 15- to 20-year- old Scotch. A limited edition of 214 bottles.
