Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Mid to deep gold; richer than typical young Chichibu from multi-cask maturation, medium-heavy legs
Nose
Tropical pineapple and mango, sweet vanilla and honey. Orange peel, peach, and bright redcurrant from sherry and wine cask influence. Fruit-forward and inviting
Palate
Rich and full-bodied. Tropical fruit, orange peel, peach, and bright redcurrant. Bourbon barrels enhance the bright fruit-driven character. Sherry casks introduce spice notes. Wine barrels add complexity. Rounded and mature
Finish
Medium-long finish with a touch of white pepper and roasted malt. Vanilla and tropical fruit linger. The 10-year maturation adds sophistication beyond The First Ten. Warm and complete
