Chichibu The Whisky Trail Single Malt Japanese Whisky 10 Year Old · 2014 Vintage
Out of stock
When it began producing in 2008, this craft whisky-making operation was the first Japanese whisky distillery to open since 1973. Ichiro Akuto has insisted on a hands-on approach, with an onsite cooperage and production of just 90,000 litres a year.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Sunlit golden amber with a warm honey hue and subtle coppery shimmer.
Nose
Honeyed lemon herbal tea opens the aroma, with buttery popcorn, ginger warmth and a whisper of eucalyptus.
Palate
Immensely complex, revealing banana, pineapple, apricot, orange blossom, and more honey.
Finish
A lightly bitter, IPA-style hop note lingers, then the finish is dominated by confected raspberry and pineapple chewy sweets.
