Ichiro's Chichibu Distillery 10 Years Single Malt Whisky

A decade of patient craft distilled into elegance. Ichiro’s Chichibu 10 Years — Second Release captures Chichibu’s signature intensity and finesse, matured in carefully selected casks under the watchful hand of Ichiro Akuto. The spirit unfolds with crisp orchard fruits, honeyed malt, and gentle spice, framed by delicate oak nuance. Though smoky peat is rare here, whispers of soft smoke and mineral air carry the Japanese terroir’s whisper. This second edition refines the original 10-year release’s promise—more depth, tighter focus, and subtle maturity. It’s a landmark bottle for collectors and lovers of Japanese single malt, embodying heritage, innovation, and nuance in every dram.

Nose: Fresh white peach, green apple peel, honeyed malt, a whisper of oak spice.

Palate: Silken texture; pear nectar, malted barley, a touch of anise and cinnamon, subtle oak backbone.

Finish: Medium to long. Soft oak lingers, residual fruit sweetness fades, light herbal whispers remain.

Match with lychee panna cotta or yuzu citrus dessert to echo floral-fruit tones. Try aged Comté or Gruyère—the nuttiness complements malt and oak. For savory, delicate sushi or seared scallop highlight the gentle elegance.
