Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The Peated Japanese Single Malt Whisky

Aged for three years in used bourbon barrels and a touch of Port Pipe cask, this first-time release from this cult distillery was peated to a staggering 59.6ppm and bottled at a natural proof of 53.5%ABV. One thing we have certainly learned over the years is that peated whisky is especially peaty when it is young and this whisky delivers big time flavor to go along with the big price tag. Only 1,000 for the US. This won’t last.
