Chichibu Newborn Bourbon Cask, Cask #127, Batch No. 1, 2008, 62.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

81 / 100

The nose has a sweet-fruit line, with pear drops and orchard fruit leading into plum eau-de-vie. There is also a slight jenever-like spice. On the palate, muesli and oats meet dried apricot, with a faint earthy element adding contrast. The finish turns grainy and quite spirity, which keeps this from feeling fully composed. The shift from sweet fruit to cereal notes gives it interest, though the finish is a clear reservation.
