Each year Chichibu releases a one-off \"US Edition\" built specifically for the American market, and the 2025 release continues that tradition with a fresh label illustration and an entirely new vatting - making it a must-have for collectors who follow this cult series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled at batch strength (52.5% ABV), this expression is vatted from 16 individual casks aged 5 to 9 years, including ex-bourbon, ex-IPA, and ex-imperial stout barrels, with a touch of peated malt and an unusually long Mizunara oak ferment. The result is a whisky with aromas of red apple, candied orange, and Tahitian vanilla, opening into a floral, slightly sweet palate that finishes with a distinctive wisp of hoppy bitterness from the beer-cask influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to let the cask complexity unfold - this is a whisky built for sipping slowly and comparing against past US Editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion - Saitama, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sipsy","offers":[{"title":"Sipsy ELA","offer_id":52274317590824,"sku":"1000012347","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shipping","offer_id":52274317623592,"sku":"1000012347","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"NOHO WINE AND SPIRITS","offer_id":52274317656360,"sku":"1000012347","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Liquor Palace 2","offer_id":52274317689128,"sku":"1000012347","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/8687\/9016\/files\/ichiros-malt-chichibu-us-edition-2025-1500.png?v=1787438064","url":"https:\/\/sipsy.com\/products\/ichiros-malt-chichibu-us-edition-2025-single-malt-japanese-whisky-700ml","provider":"Sipsy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
