- Description
- Distilled in 2013 and matured for seven years in a single cask before independent bottling by Adelphi in 2023, this Chichibu represents youth and intensity: bottled at 57.8% ABV from just 210 bottles. At seven years, the spirit retains vibrant distillery character—the high-ester, fruity signature of Chichibu malt—tempered by cask maturation rather than overwhelmed by wood. A robust, uncompromising bottling that captures a snapshot of the distillery's young-malt profile. Suits those seeking unmediated distillery character at full strength.
