Description

Please note: Some label damage

This bottle had a wonderful journey, resting in a bourbon barrel, and moving to a Japanese Mizunara oak cask, before being bottled at 55.5 % cask strength. Baking spices, apples and nutty malt flavours bounce on the palate and make this another glorious release by the Chichibu distillery. The name speaks for this whisky, and the Japanese whisky industry in general, as Mr Akuto has stated. Aren’t we all on the way?

Nose: Powerful and fruity of dried pears, chopped wood, figs, cooked apples and malt. Fine notes of white flowers.

Palate: Fruity and generous with a real basket of fruit with pears and apples, nutmeg, barley, marzipan, menthol and a light smoke.

Finish: Long and fruity with a nice freshness of pepper and nutmeg.
