Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich golden amber; deeper than typical young Chichibu, medium-heavy legs
Nose
Layered complexity from multi-cask vatting — tropical fruit, marzipan, sherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, sandalwood from Mizunara, and hints of rum. Anniversary celebration in a glass
Palate
Full-bodied and complex. Layers unfold: bourbon sweetness (vanilla, caramel), sherry depth (dried fruit, chocolate), Mizunara exoticism (sandalwood, incense, coconut), and port richness (berries, plum). Remarkable integration for such diverse cask influences. Creamy, round mouthfeel
Finish
Long, complex finish with sandalwood lingering alongside dark chocolate, dried fruit, and gentle oak spice. Each sip reveals different layers. A landmark expression marking Chichibu's coming of age
