The gentlemen (Chris & Nate) at The Whisky Wall have posted a very interesting interview with Ichiro Akuto at Chichibu distillery. The interview is attractively written in two parts and is a must read for everyone. I also enthusiastically recommend it. The first part looks into Ichiro’s family history of brewing sake and the fundamentals of whisky. The second part focuses on natural materials and distillery production. While on the subject of Ichiro Akuto, checkout the additional information of the recent blend that was released.
Thanks for the mention and kind words Clint. We both really appreciate it. -Chris
ReplyDeleteYour very welcome-good read. I cannot wait to see the various reviews that will pop up once the blend is available. I remember you mentioning you will be over this way, in time for the release?
ReplyDeleteGot a bottle of the blend in July. Haven't gotten around to writing about it - definitely made time to drink though. Nate will probably be there in October, hopefully Chichibu's 3y/o will be available then. I am still trying to get out there in December, cost of tickets permitting.
ReplyDeleteSorry Chris, I meant to say the 3y/o and not the blend. Anyway glad to hear you have the blend. I hope to chase it up sooner rather than later. Will keep my eyes out for Whiskywall's write up on it.
