Description

A Japanese single malt whisky from the Chichibu distillery, distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2014. This expression, known as 'Chibidaru' (Japanese for 'cute casks'), was matured entirely in smaller quarter casks, which allow for greater interaction between the wood and the spirit, leading to a faster and more intense flavor development. This limited edition release consists of 6,200 bottles.

Nose
A refined blend of honey, vanilla, and ripe apple, complemented by subtle notes of cinnamon and toasted oak. A hint of tropical fruit, such as mango, adds a playful touch.
Palate
Full and rich on the palate, with layers of caramel, toffee, and hints of apricot. The influence of the wood brings a gentle spiciness with accents of nutmeg and white pepper.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, and a subtle hint of citrus. A velvety oak touch rounds off the experience beautifully.
