Chichibu 8 Y.O. Imperial Stout Single Cask No. 11037 marks a return to Velier's curated whisky bottlings. The focus here is on the fundamental concepts of Earth, Water, Fire and Air, which represent raw material, fermentation, distillation and ageing respectively, and which are made explicit on the label.
This Chichibu is a Single Cask - number #11037 - distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2022, made from English barley of the Concerto variety and water from the Ochi River. This whisky is produced thanks to the talent and experience of Ichiro Akuto by indirect steam heating; the washback is made of Mizunara wood; mashing is by hand, and fermentation is long; distillation takes place in a Forsyth pot still with a descending neck; the cask used for maturation has previously contained Imperial Stout beer.
The Angel Share of Chichibu is 3-5%.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
