The nose opens with bright tropical aromas of roasted pineapple and candied citrus, accompanied by ripe apricots and delicate vanilla custard. On the palate, layers of orchard fruit, sweet pastry notes and creamy oak unfold, balanced by a gentle spice that develops into pink peppercorn and subtle warming oak on the finish. The use of Maris Otter barley contributes additional texture and depth, lending a rich, malty character beneath the whisky`s vibrant fruit profile.
Founded in 2008 by Ichiro Akuto, Chichibu has become one of the most influential distilleries in modern Japanese whisky. Located northwest of Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture, the distillery combines traditional production methods with meticulous attention to detail, from floor malting and small-scale fermentation to a diverse maturation programme.
