- Description
- Chichibu's 2011 distillate received a finishing pass through an ex-Imperial stout cask before the 2020 bottling at 55.2% ABV, creating layers beyond the distillery's signature Japanese character. Imperial stout influence introduces cocoa, coffee, dark chocolate, and roasted grain complexity atop Chichibu's typical orchard fruit and floral notes. The beer cask finish adds viscosity and subtle bitterness, creating a distinctive hybrid profile. For those seeking Japanese whisky with unconventional cask experimentation.
