Double Distilleries Ichiro's Malt Pure Malt Whisky

Good but doesn't match the hype. Now why this has to be purchased in the shady part of Tokyo is unclear to me. Chichibu however is my favorite Japanese festival town where we drank sake on beer crates in the rain.

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!

his malt ain't no joke

Woody mizunara notes. Fresh bottle opened

Inviting nose, sweet round single-malt flavors, interesting finish. Just a very pleasurable tipple. The only reason this is not a perfect whiskey is the very faintest note of varnish in the nose and finish. Reminded me a bit of Kavalan Sherry Cask in that respect. I had this in Japan with my lovely wife Dreama, at The Long Bar in Sapporo, Hokkaido.

Ichiro’s Malt, from two different distilleries. Chichibu and Hanyu. Hanyu has already closed... So very limited bottle:-) Smell is feeling like I’m in deep forest.

Nice -- oily with a bit of iodine. @ Angel's Share in HK.
