Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Chichibu The Peated

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Number One Drinks Co.

ABV: 50.5%

Score: 91 Points

Ichiro Akuto is working wonders with his young Chichibu malts. This one is only three years old, but the nose has a subtle smokiness and mild creosote, licorice, and a briny touch, but none of them overpower subtle orange peel, coconut, and vanilla notes. The taste has a peaty wave that rolls in to a nice peak with a good balance of allspice, vanilla, and coconut cream pie notes. The finish is smooth and spicy.
