<p>Chichibu Hanyu The Chronicles “Mangacamo #1″ Cask #1296 La Maison Du Whisky, Single Malt Whisky, Japan, 70clA single cask Chichibu (First fill bourbon barrel #1296) distilled in 2011 and bottled at cask strength (58.8% ABV) for French importer La Maison du Whisky in 2018. The label features Fantasista Utamaro’s artwork”Mangacamo #1″. A limited edition of 216 bottles.Critic’s Tasting Note:”Colour: straw. Nose: typical lemon (I won’t mention yuzu) and oak dust at first, then rather citrons and vanilla, with half a coconut ball. I’m sure it’s more complex, but as always, water will be needed to bring the tinier aromas out. With water: ah yes, breads, softer spices, much less new oak, touches of hand cream (Dior, naturally Charlize), ripe gooseberries, and some fresh homemade custard. Mouth (neat): fat and spicy at first, with a lot of ginger and cinnamon, then touches of salt and miso (sorry I can’t help), as well as more yuzu and bergamots. Feels more European oak than American, and yet it’s well ex-bourbon. At which strength are they filling at Chichibu? With water: yep, works once more. Lemons, ginger, spearmint, lemon curd, a little green tea. Finish: rather long, and even more on green tea. A rather complex one, with wee bits of chen pi inside. We’re well in Asia. Comments: a young distillate full of citrus and oak spices. Something Thai, I would say.” WHISKY FUN, 2019This is part of a private customer’s collection. These whiskies are in excellent condition.
