This single cask whisky, bottled at cask strength, embodies the bold vision of Ichiro Akuto , master craftsman of the Chichibu distillery. Aged for 8 years in a Bordeaux red wine cask , this Japanese whisky develops an aromatic richness that is as surprising as it is captivating.

The nose opens with aromas of stewed red fruits, fine leather, and cocoa, mingled with vinous and woody notes. On the palate, the texture is ample and powerful, yet superbly balanced by hints of black cherry, licorice, raisins, and sweet spices. The long, warm finish reveals smooth tannins and exceptional depth.

A rare expression, at the crossroads of Japanese craftsmanship and Bordeaux elegance. A must-have for discerning enthusiasts and demanding collectors.
