Chichibu Paris Edition 2021 Single Malt Japanese Whisky 53,5%

A year after the first Paris Edition, Chichibu returned with another bottle tailored to the French market, this time with even higher strength.

Expert Description

Chichibu Paris Edition 2021 is a Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 53.5%.

Like its 2020 predecessor, this release is part of Chichibu Distillery's series of city-specific bottles, created by Ichiro Akuto for the French market. Each vintage has its own cask composition, making the two Paris releases different in character despite sharing the same name.

Investment Potential

Investment perspective

City-specific Chichibu releases sell out quickly, and with only one batch per vintage, secondary market prices often rise considerably shortly after launch.

Did You Know?

Chichibu releases only one city-specific bottle per market per year, meaning there are never two identical Paris releases from the distillery.
