Fukano Chizuru, 42.2%

Price: 100 Issue: Summer 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Japanese Whisky


This collaboration with Women Who Whiskey celebrates the career of Chizuru Fukano. Refreshing fruity esters of peach, lemon, lime, taffy, marshmallow, and spring florals on the nose, plus light vanilla, fresh-brewed coffee, and a smudge of dry spice. Juicy apple and pear flavors, tart citrus, lime zest, sweet bubble gum, peppery and herbal notes, and finally, creamy vanilla followed by a mouth-wateringly juicy finish with further wood spices. (3,000 bottles)
