A more affordable option to sample Whisky from some of the legendary Japanese distilleries. Ichiro Akuto acquired the remaining barrels of Single Malt from his grandfather's closed Hanyu distillery. Shortly afterwards he not only founded the company Venture Whisky but also started his own distillery, Chichibu. This vatted pure malt named after him is therefore rumoured to be vatting of Hanyu and Chichibu, finished in French oak wine casks. Imported for the European market by La Maison Du Whisky.
