Product Description

The second bottle in the Chichibu Taboo series, exclusively bottled for The Whisky Exchange. Hear no Evil is a bourbon-matured whisky from the cult Japanese distillery, aged for 8 years. The spirit itself was made from heavily peated barley, and this has a surprisingly delicate wisp of smoke at its core, perfectly balanced by fruit and malt-forward bready notes.

Tasting Notes

Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange
- Nose
  Orange blossom and fruity honey with orange barley sugar and expressed orange peels. Singed pine needles, pine sap and incense smoke are joined by spiced sponge cake, rye crackers and grape jam. The smokiness develops, creating an aromatic contrast that ties the other aromas together.
- Palate
  Big orchard fruit kicks things off, with apples and oranges joined by the toffee, spiced fruit cake, hints of smacked mint and dark chocolate. The incense from the nose has become aromatic wood smoke, with crusty, freshly baked schwarzbrot and cherry jam developing alongside a touch of fruity jelly.
- Finish
  The fruit jelly slowly fades to leave polished oak, chocolate, toasted rye bread and lingering hints of incense.
- Comment
  While the description we were given of this says 'heavily peated', either the distillation process or time in the cask has tamed the smoke and integrated it well with the rich, grain-and-fruit character of the whisky. An exercise in balance and restraint.
