Chichibu Whisky

   
   

Chichibu Japanese Malt Whisky

the Chichibu distillery was founded in 2007 by Ichiro Akuto, the ancestors of whom were making sake here in the early 1600s'. But even more important here, Ichiro's grandfather Isouji Akuto had opened a distillery in the nearby town of Hanyu around WW2, founding it in 1941 and getting the operation licence in 1946. Around 1980, the family distillery turned to single-malt whisky making but these high-quality whiskies needed long years of élevage and this was a difficult investment to support. Ichiro Akuto who when he was younger had been working for the beverage giant (and whisky maker) Suntory had come back to his family distillery first as sales manager then as president but that's when the company had to close down, in 2000, due to financial difficulties. Then, with the fortunate help of a sake maker named Sasanokawa Shuzou, he could repossess a large part (about 400 casks, from what I read) of the priceless whisky stock of the defunct distillery and begin sell it when ready. All the while he soon also made the steps to start a new distillery, right in the town where his ancestors had made sake, here in Chichibu. The new Chichibu distillery started its production in 2007 and we're still now in the early stage of a very promising distillery, bu if you're given the chance to drink some whiskies from the previous incarnation of Chichibu, namely Hanyu, which are now labelled Ichiro's Malt, you'll have a glimpse on what should taste like long-élevage Chichibu whiskies. these Card-series whiskies with intriguing labels going from Five of Spades to King of Heart are just outstandingly, intensely beautiful.

    Item no.: 22227865360-88201

    Named after the Scottish "samurai" Thomas Blake Glover, who helped modernise Japan in the 19th century, this series brings Scotch and Japanese malt whisky together in one cask.

    Expert Description

    The Glover 4 Year Old Batch 5 by Adelphi is a Fusion of Japanese and Scotch Malt Whisky, bottled at cask strength of 54.7%.

    Behind the bottle is the Scottish independent bottler Adelphi, which, together with Fusion Whisky, created The Glover series: a fusion of Scotch malt from Adelphi's own Ardnamurchan Distillery and Japanese malt from Chichibu Distillery. The name honours Thomas Blake Glover, the Briton who played a decisive role in opening Japan to the West.

    Powerful and spiced with dried fruit, pepper and a distinct smoky core from the Scotch side of the blend.

    Long, smoky and dry, with a last note of Japanese apple.

  • The Glover 8 Year Adelphi Chichibu Ardnamurchan bottle
    Item no.: 2291-06658

    Fewer than 4% of the casks Adelphi tests are ever approved for bottling - this fifth edition of The Glover series is among the chosen few.

    Expert Description

    The Glover 8 Year Adelphi Chichibu Ardnamurchan is a Malt Whisky, bottled at 56.4%.

    The whisky combines malt whisky from Chichibu Distillery with whisky from Ardnamurchan, Adelphi's own distillery and the westernmost on the Scottish mainland. Adelphi Selection, founded as an independent bottler in 1993, tests around 25 casks for each release, but only the very best, rarely under 4%, are approved to carry the Adelphi name.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Toasted oak, dried fruit and a light mineral note.

    Palate

    Complex with spice, honey and a hint of smoke.

    Finish

    Long and warm with lingering oak.
