Chichibu 2010

Chichibu Distillery has become one of the most sought-after single malts in the world. Lets see what Five cycles of long, hot, humid summers followed by frigid, snowy winters in the volatile climate just north of Tokyo have created. Nose: Rich sweet fruits, some sweet oak and hints of strawberries with a tender undertone of spiced wood. Palate: Quite a good mouthfeel to this cask, the seasonal changes have really pushed this dram forward across the whole palate, some dark vanilla and soft new season honey, coconut flakes and a little chocolate. This dram has a very good finish with almonds and sandal wood, some sweet spices and rich toffee add to the lingering finish.
