The Chichibu Paris Edition 2018 Ichiro's Malt is a distinguished single malt whisky with an ABV of 57.3% and a volume of 700ml. Released in 2018, this special edition commemorates the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and Japan. The Chichibu distillery, renowned for its craftsmanship, produced this small batch consisting of only 1357 bottles. The whisky is a blend from 5 barrels: 3 aged in Mizunara barrels with French oak heads, and 2 in new French oak barrels. This unique maturation process imparts an array of rich and complex flavors to the whisky.
The whisky opens with a rich and inviting aroma, featuring initial notes of honey, candied citrus fruits, and warm spices. Spices such as pepper, licorice, nutmeg, and cinnamon provide a tonic quality, while the honey, hot milk, and citrus fruits offer a touch of sweetness. Dried fruits, including powdered almonds and hazelnuts, add depth and complexity to the bouquet.
Upon tasting, the whisky exhibits a robust and spicy attack, with dominant woody tones. As the flavors evolve, classic notes of cocoa, vanilla, and honey emerge. The addition of water can reveal more pastry-like aromas on the nose, reminiscent of fruit pie and almonds, though it may dilute some of the richer flavors on the palate.
The finish is long and spicy, characterized by a harmonious blend of black pepper and licorice. Notes of oak, vanilla, and almonds provide a satisfying and lingering aftertaste.
Overall, the Chichibu Paris Edition 2018 Ichiro's Malt is a unique and expressive whisky that showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the Chichibu distillery. Its complex flavor profile and well-balanced aroma make it a must-try for whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
