Chichibu Whisky Australia Edition 2025 Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml

Australia Edition 2025 is Chichibu’s official nod to this part of the world – a single malt assembled specifically with Australian drinkers in mind. Distilled at Ichiro Akuto’s small but globally influential distillery in Saitama, it captures the house style that made Chichibu famous: vibrant malt, bright fruit and assertive but well-judged oak.

The nose offers citrus, stone fruit, vanilla and a thread of sweet spice. On the palate you get concentrated malt, orchard fruit, a little honey and plenty of structure from active casks, without tipping into heaviness. The fast-changing climate around Chichibu means maturation is energetic; even at relatively modest age the whisky feels complete and expressive.

As with all official Chichibu releases, volumes are modest and allocations are tight. Bottles reach Australia in small drops, and Casa de Vinos works closely with import partners to make sure meaningful stock ends up both on shelves and open for tasting. You can try Australia Edition 2025 by the nip at Casa de Vinos Lounge, and it will feature in focused Japanese whisky sessions at Whisky Abbey.
