Chichibu The Peated

Distilled at the pioneering Chichibu distillery, nestled in the mountains northwest of Tokyo, this Japanese single malt showcases a remarkable peating style distinct from its Scottish counterparts. The Peated expression utilizes heavily peated barley sourced from Islay, imparting a smoky character balanced by the distillery’s unique spirit. Expect a complex palate of rich fruitcake, warming spice, and a lingering peat smoke, interwoven with subtle floral notes. This whisky offers a fascinating exploration of Japanese craftsmanship applied to a classic Scotch tradition, resulting in a truly memorable dram.
