Chichibu distillery is a small distillery with only nine full-time employees, it is owned by Venture whisky which was founded in 2004 in Chichibu city, Saitama just outside of Tokyo, hence its name. This particular whisky was bottled exclusively for Isetan department store. This whisky is a blend of very rare 12 and 20 year old malt whiskies from the closed Hanyu Distillery and the very rare 30, 32 and 35 year old single grain whiskies from the closed Kawasaki Distillery. This is a perfect dram!
