From the Producer
Chichibu distillery sits in the mountain town of Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture, and was founded by Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of the master distiller of the now-closed Hanyu distillery. Distilling began in 2008 on a small scale with on-site floor maltings and a wide variety of cask types, including a long-running programme of wine-cask and sherry-cask finishes. The Warrior Series is one of those specialist partner programmes; this first release pairs sherry-puncheon maturation with a French white wine finish.
