About This Whisky
A six-year-old Chichibu single malt distilled in 2012 and matured in second-fill bourbon barrel #1766, bottled in 2019 for Mitsukoshi Isetan.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Vanilla, fresh oak and honey, with pear, apple and a little lemon.
- Palate: Compact and lively, with honey, citrus, baking spice and creamy bourbon-cask sweetness.
- Finish: Clean and warming, with gentle oak and lasting malt.
Serving & Food
A fresh style that works neat or, on a warm evening, with one large ice cube. Try salt-grilled chicken, steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, or plain butter shortbread.
Good to Know
What does a second-fill barrel add? Vanilla and a little coconut, gently, so the fruit and malt stay in front.
Is it a good first Chichibu single cask? Yes. It's bright, fruity and friendly.
