About This Whisky
The third Paris Edition from Chichibu, bottled in 2020 for La Maison du Whisky, is a small-batch vatting of eight casks rather than a single cask.
The recipe is set out in unusual detail.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Banana bread, red berries and toasted oak, with cocoa and a wisp of smoke.
- Palate: Layered and lively, with cherry, brown sugar, nutmeg and creamy malt, then a peppery kick from the new wood.
- Finish: Long, with dried berries, gentle peat and dry spice.
Serving & Food
Room temperature suits it. It sits well beside roast duck with plum sauce, a cherry frangipane tart or a wedge of aged Mimolette.
