Ichiro's Malt Chichibu "Port Pipe" Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700mL

SKU: ICPPEJW
HK$3,900.00Price
  • Volume: 700mL

     

    ABV: 54.5%

     

    Color: Very surprising but the Chichibu Port Pipe is almost pink ! Its colour is like french pink wine.

     

    Aroma: The first aromas to emerge are fruity with a bit of strawberry, cherry and woody hints of honey and grain. A very nice and very "sweet" bouquet of aromas.

     

    Palate: The whisky is very alcoholic, quite normal for a "cask strength" bottled at 54.5%. I put mineral water for the second tasting to slightly lower the alcohol level.

    Now flavors can be expressed more clearly and it's still fruity but more like citrus or grapefruit. It's highly developed in flavors despite its 4 years old, almost as complex as a more mature whisky with notes of orange bitter and english fruit cake at the end. For the body, nothing wrong, it rolls in mouth and the texture is pretty gross.

     

    Finish: Long finish with citrus and grapefruit disappearing gently to let the woods and honey coming back.
