This Chichibu aged in Hanyu casks is the story of a dynasty, reaching unprecedented heights of elegance and complexity. Each and every note of the aromatic and flavour palette expresses itself with rare precision, settling into its designated space without a millimetre to spare. Alternating between liquoricey, earthy, saline, dry, rooty, mineral and medicinal notes, the peat brings the aromatic score to its crescendo with exceptional intelligence, like an inspired orchestra conductor. Hats off to Mr Akuto.

Nose : precise, clean. Initially peat and smoke occupy the centre of the aromatic palette while notes of freshly cut grass and eucalyptus hover over the surface. As it breathes, the peat gains the upper hand, becoming liquoricey, earthy and saline. An original touch of something reminiscent of a vegetable patch provides a finishing flourish with notes of cucumber and courgette. Outstanding._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

Palate : lively, firm. Much more powerful than the nose would suggest, it literally attacks the taste-buds, flooding them with an intense smokiness and a rather dry peat. The mid-palate brings spices (cloves, nutmeg, pepper) and chillies (Cayenne). Vanilla, citrus fruit zest and white-fleshed fruit gradually arrive to refresh the palate._x000D_

Overall : long, silky. Perfectly ripe melons release their sweet juice. The peat becomes rooty and mineral (slate). A few curls of smoke drift across an azure blue sky. The retro-nasal olfaction wavers between peat, liquorice and dark chocolate. The empty glass is exotic (pineapple), medicinal (balsam) and camphoric._x000D_
