Chichibu 7 Years Old 2016 Cask #7078 (LMDW)

Cask number 7078 is a 2016 vintage Chichibu single malt drawn from an Ex-Bourbon barrel and bottled in 2025 at 63.1% by La Maison du Whisky for the French market. Chichibu in Saitama prefecture is Venture Whisky's craft distillery, founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto, and the ongoing LMDW collaboration produces a steady stream of French market single cask bottlings drawn from successive vintages.

At seven years old in an Ex-Bourbon barrel, the spirit sits at a well-established point in Chichibu's maturation curve: the American oak has contributed vanilla, soft coconut and a warm spice backbone, while the distillery's fruit-forward new make character remains lively and present. The flavour profile field is blank for this cask, placing it squarely in Chichibu's typical Ex-Bourbon register. Bottled undiluted at 63.1%, it delivers the concentration and textural weight of cask strength spirit.
