Ichiro's Malt Whisky

Ichiro's Malt Whisky

Chichibu Distillery was established in 2004 by Ichiro Akuto San (Venture Whisky), who comes from a family that has had a long history & tradition in Sake brewing (since 1625 at Chichibu in Saitama).

Since its' first whisky being produced in 2008, Chichibu distillery has gathered a strong fan base across the world for its' whiskies with Ichiro San winning several awards for his blending/vatting skills. From trying to save his grandfather's Hanyu casks to the frequently auctioned card series bottlings of Hanyu to a variety of his very own vatted malts and experimental releases, Ichiro san has indeed come a long way and rightly deserves his pre-eminent position in the Whisky industry.
