Ichiro's Malt Chichibu On The Way 2015

Description

Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu On The Way 2015. This is the second release in Ichiro Akuto’s “On the Way” series from Chichibu Distillery in Japan, and blends a first-fill and a refill ex-Bourbon barrels with one Mizunara cask.

The nose is malty with a nutty character, touches of nutmeg and other baking spices, apple pie, and a hint of oak in the background.

The taste is dry, astringent, and spicy with cinnamon, black pepper, mesquite, and nutmeg, while a touch of apple cobbler comes out as the spices fade.
