Chichibu distillery is a small distillery with only nine full-time employees. The distillery is owned by Venture whisky, which was founded in 2004 in Chichibu city, Saitama, just outside of Tokyo (hence its name). This particular offering from Ichiro’s Range is an Ichiro's Malt and Kusuda Wine's Special Collaboration Bottle. It was released in 2017. As with everything else from the Chichibu distillery, it is highly recommended.
