Delfts Blauw x Kintsugi – Chichibu Whisky Two-Bottle Gift Set
The Delfts Blauw x Kintsugi Edition is a striking limited whisky set that brings together two worlds of craftsmanship: the quiet precision of Japanese whisky-making and the timeless elegance of Dutch design. Created as a true collector’s piece, this release places storytelling, aesthetics and cultural heritage on equal footing with the whisky itself.
At its heart are two single cask blended whiskies from the Chichibu Distillery, one of Japan’s most revered modern distilleries. Both expressions were matured for 1 year and 8 months in second-fill bourbon casks, each developing a distinct personality while sharing the unmistakable clarity and balance for which Chichibu is known. One edition is bottled at 61.8% ABV (Delfts Blauw Edition, limited to 239 bottles worldwide), while the other is released at 60.8% ABV (Kintsugi Edition, limited to 259 bottles worldwide), making this set exceptionally scarce.
The Distillery – Chichibu
Founded by Ichiro Akuto, Chichibu has earned an extraordinary reputation in a remarkably short time. Nestled in the mountains north-west of Tokyo, the distillery is celebrated for its hands-on approach, small-scale production and uncompromising attention to detail. Every release reflects precision, balance and purity — qualities that have made Chichibu one of the most sought-after names in Japanese whisky.
Japan Meets the Netherlands
What makes this set truly unique is the cultural dialogue it represents. Delfts Blauw, a symbol of Dutch heritage and refinement, meets Kintsugi, the Japanese philosophy of embracing imperfection and repair as part of an object’s story. Together, they form a visual and conceptual statement that celebrates craftsmanship across borders — where tradition is honoured, yet reinterpreted in a contemporary and collectible form.
Both bottles are presented together in a luxury gift box, designed as a display piece with strong visual impact. Limited, distinctive and deeply symbolic, the Delfts Blauw x Kintsugi Edition appeals equally to whisky collectors and design-driven connoisseurs. This is not merely a whisky release, but a celebration of shared values: patience, artistry and respect for craft.
