- Description
- Chichibu's 2022 London Edition blends nine different casks—Cognac, oloroso, and chibidaru (Japanese Mizunara oak)—into a limited release of just 1,861 bottles. The diversity of wood sources creates a complex, multi-layered profile with both dried fruit and subtle spice characteristics from the European casks balanced by the delicate sandalwood notes characteristic of Mizunara. This is modern Japanese whisky-making at its most experimental and refined. For collectors interested in how Japanese distilleries approach international cask strategies.
