Experience the very first Scotch Malt Whisky Society out-turn from Japan’s rising star with Chichibu 4 Year Old – 2009 Vintage, SMWS 130.1 (bottled 2013). Distilled by Ichiro Akuto just a year after the distillery’s stills were fired up and filled into a first-fill ex-bourbon barrel, this small-batch malt spent a brisk four years soaking up vanilla cream, toasted coconut and bright citrus before the Society captured it at natural cask strength. Non-chill-filtered and natural in colour, only 227 individually numbered bottles showcase Chichibu’s orchard-fruit vibrancy super-charged with fresh American-oak sweetness—the inaugural SMWS release from cask code 130.
Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • First-fill bourbon barrel amplifies vanilla, coconut and vibrant citrus against Chichibu’s young, fruity spirit.

  • 4 years capture the distillery’s energetic style while surprising with depth and texture from fresh oak.

  • Bottled at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and natural colour—undiluted aroma, flavour and brightness.

  • The inaugural SMWS cask from Chichibu (code 130.1)—strictly 227 bottles, a milestone for collectors of Japanese whisky and SMWS fans alike.

  • Shows how deft cask selection and Ichiro Akuto’s craft can create silky sweetness, oak spice and zesty freshness in remarkable harmony at a youthful age.

Pour a dram of this trail-blazing Chichibu and enjoy a vibrant blend of vanilla cream, tropical sweetness and crisp citrus—an unforgettable whisky that announces Japan’s new generation with every spirited sip.

Tasting Notes

향: 바닐라 퍼지, 코코넛 마카롱, 레몬 셔벗 향이 꿀에 절인 시리얼, 갓 베어낸 소나무 향, 그리고 은은한 흰 후추 향과 어우러져 풍부한 아로마를 자아냅니다. 맛: 생기 넘치고 부드러운 질감에 토피 사과, 풋바나나, 달콤한 몰트 맛이 입안을 감싸고, 계피 껍질, 아몬드 누가, 그리고 상큼한 자몽 껍질의 풍미가 뒤따릅니다. 여운: 중간 정도 길이의 따뜻하고 은은한 드라이함이 느껴지며, 달콤한 오크 향, 바닐라 스펀지 케이크의 풍미, 그리고 마지막에는 상큼한 시트러스 제스트의 여운이 남습니다.
