Chichibu Paris Edition 2021

Chichibu Edition Paris 2021 boasts captivating aromatic depth. The nose reveals luscious notes of vanilla and ripe fruit, carried by the richness of the first-fill bourbon cask, mingled with subtle touches of peat, red fruit and spicy wood from the port and virgin oak casks. On the palate, the attack is powerful, revealing intense flavors of peated malt, dried fruit and sweet spices, balanced by a fruity sweetness and unctuous texture. The finish is long, elegant and lightly smoky.

This bottling comes from a unique blend of 8 carefully selected casks, 5 from 2013 and 3 from 2014. These include first-fill bourbon casks, port casks, virgin oak casks, a red wine cask and Chibidaru Quarter Cask casks. The complex, harmonious blend of these different casks gives this whisky exceptional richness. Chichibu Edition Paris 2021 is bottled at 53.5% vol. for a full, intense expression of its aromas.
