Chichibu Ichiro's Double Distilleries 0.70 ltr 46%

0.70ltr. 46.00%

Chichibu Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries is a Japanese malt whiskey from two distilleries. The Ichiro's Malt series is named after Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of the founder of the Hanyu distillery. After this distillery was demolished in 2004, he bought approximately 400 barrels. In 2008 he opened his own distillery, Chichibu, and this Double Malt Distilleries bottling is a montage of both whiskies. A sherried Hanyu and a young Chichibu matured in new Japanese oak barrels. Bottled at 46%.

Smell: Sweet and round with notes of biscuits, mace, apple, lots of oak and vanilla and later some notes of sandalwood.

Taste: Very spicy in the beginning with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and some pepper followed by notes of young malts.

Finish: Dry and slightly bitter with notes of mint, ginger and licorice.
