Chichibu is celebrated for its ability to combine traditional Scottish methods with a bold Japanese identity, and The Peated 2022 is a prime example. Made in very small batches, it highlights how Chichibu handles peat with balance and finesse, producing a whisky that is powerful yet elegant. Bottled at 53.5% ABV, it’s a smoky single malt that remains fresh, complex, and approachable.

Tasting Notes

On the Nose:

Subtle peat smoke, orchard fruits, grapefruit, and caramel sweetness.

On the Palate:

Robust smoke and brine give way to dried plum, lemon zest, vanilla, and caramelized apple.

The Finish:

Long, refined, with lingering smoke and coastal freshness.
