Chichibu Single Cask #2923 is an elite 2013-distilled expression released as a private bottling under the prestigious Ichiro’s Malt label. Hand-selected from the distillery's Saitama warehouse, this single cask represents the technical peak of Ichiro Akuto’s "on-site" philosophy, where mashing in wooden washbacks and precision distillation produce a spirit of unparalleled structural depth.

The Single Cask Distinction

Single cask Chichibu releases are unfiltered, uncolored, and bottled at the natural strength of the individual cask, ensuring an unadulterated snapshot of the 2013 vintage.

  • Small-Scale Craft: Distilled during Chichibu’s early-to-mid production years, a period highly coveted by enthusiasts of the distillery’s formative style.
  • Cask Integrity: Bottled as a unique outturn for a specific private client or retailer, making it a finite and rare physical asset.
  • Saitama Terroir: Matured under the extreme temperature fluctuations of the Chichibu mountains, accelerating spirit-wood interaction.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Varies by cask type. Typical 2013 Chichibu features vibrant orchard fruit and vanilla, with sherry-cask influence adding walnut and deep baking spice.

Palate: Full-bodied and intense. Cask strength delivery typically emphasizes vanilla cream, citrus, and a sophisticated, resinous oak structure.

Finish: Long and resonant. Closing notes are dictated by the specific wood—mizunara offers sandalwood, while bourbon barrels conclude with honeyed grain.

The Ichiro Portfolio

Single Cask #2923 sits within Chichibu’s most exclusive tier. Unlike the "Leaf" series blends, these are individual snapshots of the Saitama climate, offering a more technical and structural experience for the advanced palate.

"A finite piece of Chichibu history from the legendary 2013 distillation stream."

Collector Notes

Single cask Chichibu distilled in 2013 are highly targeted assets in the global Japanese whisky market. While outturns vary by cask size, these releases are by definition finite and rarely resurface after their initial private allocation. Each bottle is verified for the integrity of its label data and original presentation case. Given the brand's immense secondary market trajectory, Cask #2923 represents a high-conviction acquisition for vertical collectors. Bottle-specific ABV and outturn data are confirmed upon order to ensure total provenance transparency.

Recommended Serving

This expression is best appreciated neat in a copita or Glencairn glass at room temperature. The cask strength entry can be softened with small, incremental drops of limestone water, which will broaden the aromatic profile without compromising the underlying wood character. Due to its scarcity, this is a purely contemplative dram, not appropriate for cocktails.
