Tasting Notes
Colour
Pale straw gold, bright and sunlit, with a delicate whisper of honey.
Nose
Soft grain and citrus zest open the nose, layered with vanilla bean and almond cream. Subtle peach and pear lift from a backdrop of coconut, white chocolate, and delicate oak. A touch of spice and the bold, creamy strength of the cask linger invitingly.
Palate
Silky and creamy on the palate, this Chita unfurls vanilla custard, almond and coconut, with hints of pear and lemon zest. A delicate grain sweetness sits alongside soft oak and a whisper of spice, delivering a clean, warming finish that lingers gracefully.
Finish
Silky grain coats the palate, unfolding vanilla, honey and toasty cereal with a bright citrus zest cutting through. The finish lengthens into creamy oak and a touch of spice, leaving a refined, subtly nutty sweetness that lingers with a clean mineral glow and the pure, precise character of Japanese grain.
