Chichibu Single Imperial Stout Cask #5577 TWE 2011 is a rare special selection connected to The Whisky Exchange and an unusual stout-cask story.

From the Producer

Chichibu was founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, on the site of a former sake brewery. The distillery runs small pot stills, on-site floor maltings and short fermentations, and matured its first new-make spirit in 2009. Its single malt program is built cask-by-cask under the Ichiro's Malt label, drawing on Akuto's earlier work with the Hanyu distillery stock. A single-cask maturation in an imperial stout cask, bottled as a special selection for The Whisky Exchange (TWE).
