Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries Chichibu x Komagatake 2021 Japanese Whisky
Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries Chichibu X Komagatake sees the Chichibu Distillery collaborate with the Mars Shinshu distillery. Mars Shinshu is Japan's highest whisky distillery, at 798 meters ― just over 2,600 feet ― nestled between Japan’s Southern and Central Alps. Mars Shinshu is owned by the Hombo family, who have been in the business of distillation for over a century. The blend of both whiskies was matured at the Chichibu distillery. Born of a desire for Japanese distilleries to be able to trade casks just like the Scottish ones do, the whisky was aged in a combination of ex-bourbon, American oak, and sherry casks. Limited to 10,200 bottles, this expression clocks in at 107 proof.
- Size: 700mL
- Proof: 106 (53% ABV)
Tasting Notes
The nose is sweet with caramel, tropical fruit, and old oak notes. You'll find toffee and fruit on the pleasantly sweet palate with pineapple and a touch of ripe banana, culminating in a fruity finish with hints of brine.
