Chichibu London Edition 2018 - Ichiro's Malt

Released in 2018, this whisky has a strength of 56.5% Vol. It was matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels, barrels that previously held peaty whisky, and barrels with new mizunara-oak ends. This diverse range of casks contributes to the whisky's complex character and underlines the distillery's innovative approach to maturation.

The London Edition was recognized at the 2018 World Whiskies Awards, where it won a Bronze medal in the Single Malt category. It was also a special release at the 2018 Whisky Show in London, an event that gathers enthusiasts and connoisseurs from around the globe.

The expression was limited to 929 bottles, making it a relatively scarce addition to the whisky market. Each Chichibu London Edition 2018 bottle is individually numbered, reflecting the careful attention to detail in its production. As such, it offers an interesting option for collectors and investors who are drawn to the quality and innovation characteristic of Chichibu's whisky production.
