Ichiro's Wine Wood Reserve

About

Chichibu Ichiro's Wine Wood Reserve is a distinctive Japanese malt whisky from the Chichibu distillery, founded by Ichiro Akuto in 2008. This whisky is part of the Ichiro's Malt series, which pays homage to his grandfather’s legacy from the now-closed Hanyu distillery. With an ABV of 46%, it showcases the craftsmanship of this relatively young distillery. On the nose, expect a complex bouquet of almond, peppery notes, and dried spices. The palate reveals layers of fresh fruit, sugary sweetness, malty undertones, and a touch of oak. The finish is equally intriguing, with lingering fresh fruit, sugary sweetness, peppery spice, and a hint of smokiness. This whisky is a fine example of Chichibu's innovative approach to whisky-making, reflecting both tradition and modernity.
