Founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto, Chichibu has rapidly become one of the world’s most coveted craft distilleries, celebrated for its meticulous production methods and extremely limited releases. This rare Floor Malted US Exclusive 2015 edition—crafted from manually floor‑malted barley, fermented in Mizunara wood washbacks, distilled in small Forsyths pot stills, and matured primarily in first‑fill bourbon barrels—embodies the purest expression of Chichibu’s artisanal philosophy. Bottled at natural strength (58.5%), unchill‑filtered and produced in an estimated run of 1,000 to 1,500 bottles, it offers an intensely malt‑driven nose with yellow fruits, light cocoa and floral nuances, followed by a vibrant, textured palate and a long, spicy, subtly saline finish. Highly sought after on the international market, leading critics consistently praise its precision and purity, with scores around 88/100, confirming its status as a collector’s cornerstone.
