Where Smoke Meets Spirit – Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The Peated 2010–2013
🌏 Description
Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The Peated is a powerful expression of Japan’s bold side — a small-batch single malt crafted at Chichibu Distillery using peated malted barley and aged in a variety of casks from 2010 to 2013. Produced by Ichiro Akuto, a legend in Japanese whisky innovation, this bottling reflects his passion for combining traditional Scottish methods with Japan’s precision and terroir.
On the nose, you’re greeted by vibrant smoke, burnt oak, salted caramel, and citrus peel. The palate erupts with waves of earthy peat, charred malt, grilled lemon, cacao nib, and subtle brine. The smoke is rich but well integrated — never overwhelming — and balanced by sweet malt and herbal spice. The finish is dry, smoky, and lingering, with a touch of roasted coffee and Japanese hinoki wood.
This is a whisky made for collectors and peat lovers alike. It showcases how Chichibu, despite its youth, is producing world-class peated single malts that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Islay icons. Chichibu The Peated is not mass-produced — each release is numbered and limited, making it both a bold flavor experience and a rare find in the world of Japanese whisky.
