<p>Chichibu Hanyu The Chronicles “Mangacamo #2” Cask #5080 La Maison Du Whisky, Single Malt Whisky, Japan, 70clA single cask Chichibu (Burgundy wine cask finish #5080) distilled in 2011 and bottled at cask strength (60% ABV) for French importer La Maison du Whisky in 2018. The label features Fantasista Utamaro’s artwork “Mangacamo #2″. A limited edition of 210 bottles.Critic’s Tasting Note:”Always beware pinot noir in whisky! Now agreed, could have been merlot ;-). Colour: apricot. 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. Mouth (neat): 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… Finish: rather long, a little drying. Tomato leaves, more cassis. Comments: we’ve seen much worse and I can see why someone would enjoy this quite a lot, but you need to be into heavy French oak, I would say.” WHISKY FUN, 2019This is part of a private customer’s collection.
