Chichibu Distillery releases an exclusive limited-edition Single Malt Japanese Wh**ky with department store Selfridges launching this Wednesday 20 May 2026
Only 195 bottles were produced of this single malt which will be available at Selfridges’ London, Manchester and Birmingham stores and on Selfridges.com
Drawn from a 2018 vintage Chichibu single cask, the wh**ky was matured for seven years in a first-fill bourbon barrel, capturing both depth and vibrancy. Bottled in 2025 at cask strength (59.5% ABV), the wh**ky is non-chilled filtered and with no added colouring, allowing the spirit’s true character to shine
The bottling offers a refined and complex flavour profile. Notes of candied citrus lead on the nose, complemented by roasted orchard fruits, honeysuckle, and a gentle hint of sweet cinnamon. On the palate, the wh**ky is rich and full-bodied, revealing layers of ripe peach and brown sugar, before finishing with a warming, lingering vanilla sweetness.
Akin to the 2019 release, the label design is a defining feature. Created to echo the theatrical window displays of Selfridges, it draws inspiration from the store’s famous displays, which have long been treated as art-like installations central to its identity.
Discover Chichibu Distillery Single Malt Wh**ky x Selfridges (59.5% ABV) from this Wednesday 20 May 2026.
