Chichibu 6 Years Old 2010 Cask #663 (LMDW)

Cask number 663 from Chichibu's 2010 distillation was bottled in 2016 after six years in Ex-Bourbon wood and released only for La Maison du Whisky in France. This market-specific single cask represents the kind of targeted international selection that helped establish Chichibu's reputation in European specialist retail during the distillery's early years under Venture Whisky.

Six years of Ex-Bourbon maturation at Chichibu's Saitama distillery produces the profile typical of the house at this age: vanilla, coconut and fresh orchard fruit from the American oak, with the cereal brightness of the new make still present beneath the cask's contribution. At 61.5% cask strength the bottling is direct and full-bodied, well suited to a market with a taste for transparent, uncompromised single cask whisky.
