About this listVenture Whisky
Venture Whisky was founded by Ichiro Akuto in 2004 and runs the Chichibu Distillery, which was completed in 2007 and received its license in February 2008. Akuto is the grandson of the founder of the closed Hanyu distillery, and the company bottles under the Ichiro's Malt and Chichibu names, including Double Distilleries, a blend of Hanyu and Chichibu malts. A second site, Chichibu II, began distillation in October 2019 to meet demand for Chichibu single malt, while the original distillery supplies small batch and single cask editions. Several limited releases are made for one market: The London Edition is a UK exclusive first launched at The Whisky Show in 2018, and the 2024 edition ran to about 1,920 bottles at 50.5%. The Paris Edition is an annual collaboration with La Maison du Whisky, and the 2025 bottling was a blend of 17 casks in 2,484 numbered bottles at 50.5%. Chichibu The First Ten, released in November 2020 in 5,000 bottles at 50.5%, was the first whisky aged more than 10 years to be released from Ichiro's Malt.
