Chichibu 10 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky ABV 50.5% 700ml

For the second time in the history of the Chichibu Distillery, they have released a stand-alone, 10 year old whisky. Matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels, this lightly peated single malt displays all the craft prowess of this game changing distillery, now in its second decade of operation. The nose is a lightly smokey journey through layers of honey candies, vanilla, pineapple, and citrus peel. The flavor is classic Chichibu, with a nuanced fruitiness that sets the stage for a supporting cast of malt, vanilla, pastry cream, and bittersweet grapefruit. If you missed Chichibu’s The First 10, this is your chance at catching a benchmark release from Ichiro Akuto and team.

The limited edition has been matured for a minimum of 10 years, primarily in ex-Bourbon barrels. Showcasing Chichibu’s signature fruit-forward style, the palate delivers textured notes of orange peel, peach, red currant, white pepper, and roasted malt.
