Description

A single malt whisky distillery in Japan, located within the city of the same name in the Saitama Prefecture. It was established in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto and significantly expanded in 2019 with the opening of a second distillery called Chichibu 2. The bottle comes in a luxurious, dark blue gift box with a metal lock. This can only be opened if three riddles are solved. Each solved riddle reveals a digit. Only when the full code has been cracked does the box open and grant access to the whisky.
