About This Whisky
The US Edition 2019 is the second release in Chichibu's series of bottlings made for the American market.
The recipe is unusual because it is built around barley variety. Of the seven casks, two held spirit from floor-malted Tipple barley, two held peated Concerto and three held Braemar.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dried plum, sandalwood and cedar, with salted lemon peel and a light wisp of peat.
- Palate: Rich for its age and quite oily, with citrus oil, toasted malt, soft smoke and a savoury, soy-like depth.
- Finish: Long, with sweet spice, dried tangerine and drying wood.
Serving & Food
Try it with grilled eel, yakitori with tare glaze or a slice of aged Comté.
