Cuvée presentation

The result of an exclusive collaboration between Japan’’s legendary Chichibu distillery and renowned designer Shinichiro Ogata, this gift set brings together two single casks in a charming duo. Both were produced from the same Concerto variety of barley, underwent equally long fermentations (80 hours), were distilled in 2014, and were matured in bourbon casks in the same warehouse for seven years. Referencing two deeply poetic moments of the day, the two versions named Akatsuki (Dawn) and Tasogare (Dusk) reveal Chichibu in two different lights, one fresh, lively and pure, the other smooth and adorned with a halo of effervescent peat. Both casks will be released in January 2024 and available exclusively at a selection of bars and restaurants in France, Italy and Singapore. The single gift set under the hammer at this auction will be the only released to the general public, making this a unique opportunity to get hold of these two collectors items.

The distillery Chichibu

Japan, Saitama. Distillery operational. Owner: Venture Whisky.

Independent & family-ownedIt was in 2007 that Ichiro Akuto, grandson of the founder of the Hanyu distillery, built a new distillery in the north-west of Tokyo, in Saitama Prefecture. Named Chichibu, it brought to a close several decades marked by the closure of numerous production sites, and enabled Ichiro Akuto to renew his family's history of expertise. Despite its small size (production capacity of 80,000 LPA/yr), Chichibu quickly drew attention and became highly sought-after. It was under the name “New Born” that Ichiro sold exclusively his malt for three years. In 2011, the first edition of a small batch Chichibu named The First was released (7,400 bottles). It was immediately welcomed by distributors and the world's whisky enthusiasts, putting Chichibu on the fast-track to becoming a distillery with strong potential as a collectible. Since then, Ichiro has released numerous single casks to respond to consumer demand, increasing the distillery's appeal among collectors.
