Ex-Bourbon and red wine casks shape this 2024 Paris Edition from Chichibu, a cask strength single malt from Saitama released to the broader European market by the distillery at 50.5%, carrying the fruit-forward, vinous character that defines this year’s Paris Edition line.

Description
Bottled by Chichibu for the European market at large, this 2024 Paris Edition sits alongside France-specific variants in a year when the Saitama distillery released multiple cask strength expressions under the Paris Edition banner. Venture Whisky, founded by Ichiro Akuto in 2008, produces Chichibu single malt in small batches with a deliberately varied cask programme, and the 2024 Paris Edition series demonstrates the range the distillery can achieve within a single release cycle.
The maturation combines Ex-Bourbon and red wine casks, the former contributing vanilla and orchard fruit and the latter adding a vinous softness and berry depth. At cask strength 50.5%, the whisky is bottled at the proof the casks naturally delivered, preserving the full texture and aroma of both wood influences. The European market positioning suggests this expression was intended as the widest-reach variant among the 2024 Paris bottlings.
