Chichibu Ichiro's Malt Peated U.S. Edition (2020 Release), 55.5%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2021 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Single Malt
Icy cool clinical whisky with a precision delivery of peat smoke and icing sugar, vanilla, sponge cake, attractive spiciness, and a touch of mint on the nose. The mouthfeel is effervescent with fizzing spices, buckets of bourbon-cask sweetness, sugary vanilla, and a huge thrust of clove at full strength, becoming richer as the peat smoke blows through. Water coaxes out lime and clementine peel and a deeper, more rounded smoke. (2,109 bottles)
