IMG_3545Ichiro’s Malt, Double Distilleries Vatted Malt (Hanyu and Chichibu distilleries). Japan. ABV: 46%. Tasted at Canton Lounge.

Colour: Yellow gold.

Nose: Alcohol tingle up the nostrils, grass seed notes.

Palate: Peppery hay-like flavours. Quite a dry mouthfeel.

Finish: Spicy; quite a bit more heat than I expected from a drop at 46%.

Comments: A bit more bite than I expected. This is an interesting drop, it’s a combination of whisky from both Hanyu and Chichibu distilleries in Japan, vatted and bottled at Chichibu in 2010. Interesting, but not outstanding.
