This incredible single cask blended whisky from Ichiro's Malt was made in the famous Chichibu distillery before being bottled exclusively for the 10th
Anniversary of CLAUDE WHISKEY and the Grand Opening of Whiskey Boutique Claude. The blend consists of: Chichibu's own malt matured in bourbon casks and sherry casks; single malt whiskies from Scotland, matured for over 10 years; and Kawasaki 33 year old single grain whisky distilled in 1982. After blending it was refilled in a single bourbon cask (#8259) and matured for 2 years and 9 months, then bottled at cask strength.


Tasting note: Pecan pie, toffee, rhubarb, vanilla, butter. There is a serious richness from the sherry cask and the old Kawasaki single grain whisky. Quinces, brown sugar, banana, cabbage, cherry cream, dried mango, nutmeg, sugared apple pie base. A few drops of water add a little pepper and ginger heat, orange and sugared pink grapefruit.
