The Chichibu Distillery in Hokkaido Japan is boutique in the extreme with just 14 employees and two small copper pot stills. This whisky is a blend of Japanese material blended with Whiskies sourced from around the world including Canada, the USA, Ireland and Scotland. Typical attention to detail has produced a meticulous blend showing more highland grainy flavours than the peaty west coast flavours of Scotland. If I ever return to Niseko for skiing I will make an attempt to visit this wonderful little distillery in Hokkaido. 46% ABV. — 3 years ago

Pale lemon color. Rich peat notes, vanilla, wet grass, ocean spray, iodine, band aid, and charcoal. Luxurious finish. — 8 years ago

So smooth. A dash of cold water. Only a dash. Almost too smooth. You will polish off that bottle too quick. Touch of smoke. Touch of malt. And a lot of drinkability — 8 years ago

Pale gold color. Upfront aromas of incense, cedar, green grass, hay, green tea, vanilla bean, coconut, and cereal. Mouthfeel is voluptuous. Some dry tannins in the back palate. Flavors are similar, with apple and creme brûlée hints on the tongue. Long finish! — 8 years ago

Shiba kun gifted to me. Malt and grain blend. Grain on nose. Shibui on palate. Very unusual mixture, just like Ichiro — 8 years ago
