- Description
- Chichibu's London 2020 Edition is a Japanese single malt vatting seven casks with six-year minimum age, combining bourbon and ex-peated cask maturation with mizunara oak heads on select casks. This layering creates complexity—peated smoke balanced against Japanese mizunara spice, wood fragrance, and subtle fruit notes from the mixed cask regimen. The texture is silky with a finish marked by sandalwood and persistent smoke. A compelling expression for those exploring Japanese whisky's increasing sophistication and cask experimentation.
