For this new 2022 release, the Master Distillers at the renowned Chichibu Distillery dried their malt using peat under the kiln, imparting generous smoky tones throughout. It offers light peat and gentle custard, with aromas of black tea and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, it presents building peat smoke, warm fruits, and a hint of salt. The finish is long and satisfying, with bitter chocolate and lingering peaty aromas, leaving you eager for the next sip.
