Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm gold; clean and bright, medium legs
Nose
Fresh and vibrant — vanilla, fresh barley, peach, pear, and light floral notes. Subtle sandalwood and incense from Mizunara. Honey and lemon curd. Youthful energy
Palate
Medium-bodied. Clean spirit character shines — vanilla, honey, orchard fruit (peach, apple), citrus (lemon, yuzu). Mizunara adds gentle sandalwood and coconut. Wine cask contributes berry notes. Remarkably balanced for a young spirit
Finish
Medium finish with vanilla, orchard fruit, and gentle sandalwood. Clean and bright — a snapshot of Chichibu's development as it matures
