Description

This Chichibu 2013 Single Cask #2666 'Hear No Evil' is part of the Taboo Series, bottled exclusively for The Whisky Exchange. Distilled in 2013 and matured for 8 years in a first-fill bourbon barrel, it was bottled in 2022 at 59.5% ABV. This limited release of 202 bottles is made from heavily peated barley, offering a delicate wisp of smoke balanced by fruit and malt-forward bready notes. The Taboo Series takes inspiration from the Japanese saying 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil', with labels designed by Raj 'Mr C' Chavda.

Nose
Orange blossom and fruity honey with orange barley sugar and expressed orange peels. Singed pine needles, pine sap and incense smoke are joined by spiced sponge cake, rye crackers and grape jam. The smokiness develops, creating an aromatic contrast that ties the other aromas together.
Palate
Big orchard fruit kicks things off, with apples and oranges joined by the toffee, spiced fruit cake, hints of smacked mint and dark chocolate. The incense from the nose has become aromatic wood smoke, with crusty, freshly baked schwarzbrot and cherry jam developing alongside a touch of fruity jelly.
Finish
The fruit jelly slowly fades to leave polished oak, chocolate, toasted rye bread and lingering hints of incense.
