Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
일본 사이타마 산악 지대의 극심한 일교차와 사계절 변화가 치치부의 빠른 숙성을 끌어낸다. 짙은 호박빛 너머로 잘 익은 살구와 꿀, 일본산 미즈나라 같은 단단한 오크의 향이 또렷이 드러난다. 6년이지만 ex-하뉴 호그스헤드가 만든 진한 곡물 단맛과 시트러스가 두꺼운 질감으로 입을 채우고, 60도 알코올은 치치부 특유의 깨끗한 캐릭터를 깊게 풀어낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
apricot
air Nose
it’s okay, the whisky’s rather safe, even if you could sometimes mistake it for some fiery young armagnac. Tomato leaves, prunes, blackcurrant buds, geranium flowers (not stems ort leaves, no worries), plus some garden peat and black humus. Whiffs of old pu-erh, not bad, not bad. With water: no real changes, perhaps a few more leaves
restaurant Palate
much, and I mean more oak. Loads of leaves and stems, sour teas, heavy liquorice… With water: sure there’s a feeling of readymade cocktail but it’s a rather fine oak-led winesky. Black bread, cherry stem tea…
timer Finish
rather long, a little drying. Tomato leaves, more cassis
