Chichibu Ichiro’s Malt The Peated

Distilled at the pioneering Chichibu distillery, nestled in the mountains northwest of Tokyo, this Japanese single malt showcases Ichiro Akuto’s dedication to reviving traditional whisky-making. “The Peated” expression offers a unique exploration of Scottish influence with Japanese precision, utilizing peated barley sourced directly from Islay. Expect a complex aroma of smoky heather and orchard fruits, leading to a palate of rich peat smoke balanced by sweet vanilla and a hint of spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering impression of earthy peat and subtle citrus notes – a testament to Chichibu’s artistry.
