Distilled in 2011 at the pioneering Chichibu distillery, this 6-year-old single malt showcases the innovative spirit of Japanese whisky-making. Matured initially in first-fill barrique casks and previously holding Pinot Noir, it develops a unique character hinting at both fruit and wood. Expect a complex profile with intriguing notes of bamboo wood and delicate cherry blossom, culminating in a robust 59.6% ABV. Bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, this expression is one of only 200 released, offering a rare glimpse into a distinctive cask influence.
