Product Description
This 2016 Chichibu was distilled from both Odyssey and Concerto barley and matured in a Kusuda wine barrel from New Zealand. Selected and bottled exclusively for The Whisky Exchange, it bursts with rich spice and incense, leading into white pepper, pine and cherry wood on the nose. The palate is al about wild plums, thyme and a dusting of cinnamon.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
Nose
Cherries and raspberries with hints of raisin and sultana. Orchard fruit peeks through: sharp apples and unripe pears balanced by plum and sugar-dusted gooseberry. Cocoa and brown sugar notes develop along with syrupy flapjacks and cherry bakewells.
Palate
Maraschino cherries lead, backed up by menthol freshness and redcurrant sharpness. Spiced sponge cake, sharp green apples and stewed pears follow. Fruit continues to build, with dark berries balanced by bright orchard fruit. Fragrant oak runs through the core.
Finish
Berries and cherries linger as menthol, toffee and milk chocolate fade.
Dawn Davies, Buying Director
Nose
Rich spice and incense with white pepper, pine and cherry wood.
Palate
Rich and full with warming spices, plum and wild thyme.
