Japanese pure malt from Ichiro Akuto's Chichibu Distillery in Saitama, aged in bourbon casks and finished in French wine casks. This is the earlier 46% release of the expression, not the later 46.5% reissue.

Fruity top notes on the nose, bitter chocolate and orange peel on the palate, shaped by the wine-cask finish over a bourbon base.
