Chichibu Whisky Australia Edition 2026 Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml

Discover the exceptional Chichibu Australia Edition 2026, the highly anticipated third release in the exclusive Australia Edition series from Japan's renowned Chichibu Distillery.

Bottled at 48.5% ABV, this limited-edition Japanese single malt whisky is crafted from a carefully selected vatting of six non-peated casks, including bourbon barrels, hogsheads, Chibidaru and a local Chichibu red-wine cask. This distinctive combination showcases Chichibu's innovative approach to whisky making and its dedication to small-batch craftsmanship.

Strictly limited to just 480 bottles worldwide, the 2026 edition is a remarkable release for Japanese whisky enthusiasts and collectors.

This year's release also introduces an exciting artistic collaboration with Sydney-based artist Yosi Messiah. Featuring his original mixed-media artwork Whisky Girl, the striking label incorporates silver and gold pigments, vibrant colours and his signature Geisha-inspired imagery, beautifully complementing the whisky's rich amber appearance.

Combining exceptional Japanese whisky craftsmanship with contemporary Australian artistry, Chichibu Australia Edition 2026 is a distinctive collector's release that celebrates the connection between Japan and Australia.
