In this new 2022 bottling, the Master Distillers at the renowned Chichibu Distillery dried their malt by burning peat under the kiln, imparting generous smoky tones throughout. The nose reveals light peat, gentle custard, and aromas of black tea and vanilla. On the palate, you'll find an increasing presence of peat smoke, warm fruits, and a hint of salt. The finish is long and irresistible, with lingering bitter chocolate and peaty aromas that leave you eagerly anticipating the next sip.
