Chichibu 6 Years Old 2018 Cask #9197 (Adelphi)

Chichibu 6 Years Old 2018 Cask 9197 is an independent single-cask bottling selected by Adelphi from Chichibu distillery in Saitama. The cask was filled in 2018 and bottled in 2025, representing a relatively young expression of this sought-after Saitama distillery. Chichibu was founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto under Venture Whisky and rarely appears in independent bottler catalogues, particularly in young single-cask format, making an Adelphi selection a notable opportunity for European buyers.

Matured in an Ex-Bourbon cask and bottled at 58.1% cask strength, the expression was released for the European market. No flavour profile was specified in the available data, but at six years from Ex-Bourbon wood, the typical Chichibu house character runs toward vibrant tropical fruit, vanilla cream and the lively, zesty new make quality that defines the distillery. The cask strength bottling preserves this energy at full intensity.
