Lifted, quite estery and delicate, with fruit blossom, preserved lemon, and light minerality. It needs water; when added, out burst blossoms, brioche, and fondant icing. On the palate, there's a frothy pink party going on: marshmallows, flowers, raspberry, and cream. Water adds silkiness, while the finish throws out yuzu, then tightens in the manner typical for a young whisky (it's 3 years old). Not only on the way, but getting there.¥25,000/700 ml
About the producer
Chichibu is one of Japan’s smallest and most beloved single malt whisky producers, founded by the famed Master Distiller Ichiro Akuto in 2008. Akuto and Chichibu have been instrumental in Japanese whisky’s current popularity – and the sky-high secondary market prices fetched for certain bottlings.
