Chichibu Double Matured Newborn Cask 446 Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Recommended , Chichibu

“ Really good. Explosive taste. Almost as good as Aberlour Abunadh”

92
Chichibu Newborn Cask 127
Distilled in one of the newest distilleries of Japan, Chichibu. This spirit, as it has just one year and so it can't be called whisky yet, has been matured in a bourbon cask.

This bottle is part of a 262 bottles batch. And you really will have to pinch yourself, because just at one year old it is a hell better than many scotches that I have tried.

Simply awesome single malt whisky from a distillery that has recently released their first "proper" single malt: Chichibu The first

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (88): inexistent. sweet, floral, heather, wood, vanilla, spices, complex. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (96): . hot, sweet, really hot, vanilla, spices, wood, tobacco, honey, great!, floral, towards fruity. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (92): no finish. wood, vanilla, honey, long, mature apples. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Chichibu Newborn Cask 127 with 92 points over 100.
