Chichibu Single Cask #8275 7 Years Old 2017 (Ex-Bourbon)

Chichibu Single Cask #8275 is a 7 Years Old expression distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2025 as an event release. It originates from Chichibu in Saitama, Venture Whisky's craft distillery founded by Ichiro Akuto in 2008, a site known for small stocks, meticulous cask selection and a wide wood programme.

This individual barrel was matured in Ex-Bourbon oak, the dominant cask type at the distillery and the wood most likely to bring out Chichibu's clean, grain-sweet new make in classic form. The house character runs toward fresh fruit, vanilla and cereal, and seven years in a single bourbon barrel give those notes some measure of development. Bottled at 65.8% without water addition, the full cask intensity is preserved.
