Tasting note

Nose

A burst of fresh fruits like juicy pear, green apple, and lime, complemented by vanilla and a touch of honey. Subtle floral hints and a note of fresh mint add elegance to the aroma.

Palate

Full-bodied and powerful, with creamy notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and almond. Bright citrus fruits such as lemon and orange zest emerge, accompanied by a delicate spiciness of white pepper and ginger. The bourbon cask contributes layers of caramel and gentle oak.

Finish

Long and refined, with lingering sweetness of honey and vanilla, paired with a refreshing hint of lime and a subtle spiciness. A perfectly balanced and elegant finish.

Chichibu Distillery

Chichibu Distillery is located in the picturesque town of Chichibu, about 100 kilometres northwest of Tokyo, Japan. Founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto, a renowned name in the Japanese whisky industry, Chichibu has quickly built a reputation for producing high-quality craft whiskies.

A unique feature of Chichibu is the use of locally grown barley and pure water from the surrounding mountains, which contributes to the exceptional quality of their whisky. The distillery combines traditional techniques with innovative approaches, including the use of a wide range of casks such as ex-bourbon, sherry and Japanese Mizunara oak casks. This creates complex and sophisticated flavour profiles.

Chichibu whiskies are known for their rich and versatile character, with notes of vanilla, fruit, spice and sometimes a subtle smokiness. The attention to detail and craftsmanship of Ichiro Akuto and his team are reflected in the international recognition and awards their whiskies have received.

The combination of a beautiful location, high-quality local ingredients and a strong commitment to quality makes Chichibu Distillery a respected name in the world of Japanese whisky.
