Chichibu The Peated

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Number One Drinks Co.

ABV: 50.5%

Score: 91 Points

Ichiro Akuto is working wonders with his young Chichibu malts. This one is only three years old, but the nose has a subtle smokiness and mild creosote, licorice, and a briny touch, but none of them overpower subtle orange peel, coconut, and vanilla notes. The taste has a peaty wave that rolls in to a nice peak with a good balance of allspice, vanilla, and coconut cream pie notes. The finish is smooth and spicy.
