Ichiro, grandson of the founder of Hanyu Distillery, built Chichibu from scratch with a singular vision: to produce world-class Japanese single malt whisky on a human scale, with maximum hands-on involvement at every stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery is tiny — annual production is a fraction of a major Scottish malt — and everything is done carefully, from the milling of locally sourced barley to the hand-filling of small mizunara and ex-bourbon casks. Chichibu releases command extraordinary prices on the secondary market, but bottles acquired at retail are invariably among the most complex and rewarding Japanese whiskies you can pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan  |  \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chichibu, Saitama  |  \u003cstrong\u003eFounded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008  |  \u003cstrong\u003eSpecialty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Single Malt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chichibudistillery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVisit Chichibu's website →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"chichibu-2014-eli-trail-54-5-70cl","title":"Chichibu 2014 Eli Trail 54.5° 70cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eChichibu is the kind of distillery that makes whisky people genuinely emotional.
