Description

This special Chichibu was distilled in 2011, then matured in a Hogshead with Mizunara heads (No.1441) before being bottled as a collaboration between the Highlander Inn & The Dramathon. 249 bottles were produced at 59% ABV to celebrate the 2019 Dramathon - a marathon that runs the Speyside Way from Glenfarclas to Glenfiddich.

Nose
Yellow flowers, pistachio, rich and creamy vanilla. Juicy cantaloupe, which is quickly trailed by fluffy coconut cake and freshly brewed coffee. A touch of Sunkist oranges pulp, brown sugar and red date pudding. Water chestnuts, sandalwood with tiny bit of mint. Let it breathe for 15min, here goes the smell of cosmetics blended with some dried mandarin orange peel, white pepper, fresh plums and ripe English pears.
Palate
A splash of light pepper and citrus zest. White tea, orange plus apple juice floods in. Dried flowers, antique furniture and old magazines with a bit inky smell. At the same time it's nutty, sweet and sour in a fruity way. Plum peel and pomelo pith arrive later. It also tastes like olive oil, with some dried maple and caramel added.
Finish
Maple syrup, translucent plastic, cherry peel. Pistachio shell, crispy seaweed. The woody notes then become thicker with cinnamon and tiny bit of Sichuan peppercorns. What floats up later is yellow pear with peel and sour core, and pomelo leaves to end.
