Question 1

What does Chichibu 2014 / Beer Cask / Exclusive To The Whisky Exchange Japanese Whisky taste like?

Accepted Answer

Chichibu 2014 / Beer Cask / Exclusive To The Whisky Exchange Japanese Whisky is characterised by Fresh Fruit, Yeasty notes. Chichibu's 2014 beer-cask expression is a singular experiment: the whisky has absorbed character from Shiga-Kogen's The Far East triple IPA, previously matured in the 125-litre chibidaru cask. The result is intensely flavoured, combining hoppy fruit, spice, and unexpected smokiness in complex layers rarely found in whisky. At cask strength (59.5%), this demands respect and perhaps water to unlock its character. The final entry in The Whisky Exchange's Martial Arts Trilogy, this suits adventurous palates seeking unconventional Japanese whisky.
