Chichibu Distillery started producing its famous Whiskies in 2008. The distillery is owned by Venture Whisky Ltd., established by Ichiro Akuto in 2004 in Chichibu, a city in Japan’s Saitama Prefecture, about 100 kilometers from Tokyo. Ichiro Akuto was born into a family with a long-brewing tradition, they had started sake brewing in Chichibu around 1625. To this day the natural environment, seasonal characteristics, and the high quality of the water provide perfect conditions for distilleries.
Built around 1800 as part of East Newhall Farm by Thomas Erskine, the ninth Earl of Kellie, this charming Georgian farm steading once serviced Cambo House and the Estate.
The Scottish Wemyss family have had a longstanding passion for malt whisky and their connections with the industry date back to the turn of the 19th century when John Haig (founder of Haig’s) built his first distillery on Wemyss land.
Langatun is the Celtic version of the name Langenthal, a settlement that can be traced back to the year 861. The name means ‘the fortified place on the Langa’. The word ‘Langa’ is an Old European name for water. Water is one of the most important ingredients in whisky making. The name of Langatun whisky is therefore a tribute to the area’s first settlers and brewers. Their traditions were adopted, continued and developed by Baumberger’s descendants.
When newly qualified master brewer Jakob Baumberger returned from Munich to his native country in 1857, he founded a distillery, which he ran on his father’s farm with his seven brothers. Jakob’s father, Niklaus, was a farmer, pub landlord and brandy distiller.
Michel Couvreur had a very personal, and truly revolutionary vision of what whisky should be: more than terroir, more than the distiller’s touch, it was the maturing in oak casks that truly helped the grain spirit become whisky. From 1978 on, having settled in the French region of Burgundy, he decided to make it his life’s work and to dedicate his research to a process which he once compared to cross-fertilisation.
Located in the Speyside region of Scotland, The Macallan was founded in 1824 on a plateau above the iconic River Spey. With an uncompromising dedication to its craft, the distillery has built a global reputation for creating astonishing single malts.
