The Ichiro's Malt Chichibu London Edition 2021 is the fourth installment of the Chichibu's London Edition series. Originally intended for release during The Whisky Show, this particular edition experienced a delay, making its highly anticipated debut in July 2022.
Carefully curated using a selection of seven casks, the Ichiro's Malt Chichibu London Edition 2021 presents a remarkable blend of flavors and aromas. The majority of the casks used are ex-bourbon barrels, which contribute to the whisky's foundation of character and depth. Notably, four of the casks previously housed peated whisky, infusing an intriguing smokiness into the final product.
The Ichiro's Malt Chichibu London Edition 2021 greets the nose with vibrant aromas of orchard fruits, honey, and citrus zest, interwoven with subtle notes of vanilla and oak. On the palate, it offers a harmonious medley of flavors, including juicy pear, creamy toffee, and a touch of spicy black pepper, balanced by a gentle nuttiness. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering hints of oak, light smoke, and a delicate sweetness that leaves a memorable impression.
Each cask was patiently matured for over five years, allowing the whisky to develop its unique profile and acquire complexity. The result is a harmonious symphony of flavors that captivate the palate. Bottled at an impressive 51.5% ABV, this whisky showcases its full potential while maintaining a smooth and approachable nature.
