As its name suggests, this blended malt is a blend of casks from two Japanese distilleries: Shinshu and Chichibu, which have collaborated in the greatest secrecy since 2015.
Its profile, both harmonious and complex, reveals itself at first rather fruity and greedy with notes of plum, orange peel and maple syrup. On tasting, the character of the Komagatake single malt is accompanied by the strong imprint of the Chichibu single malt with aromas of brandy cake, cocoa, nutmeg and a touch of smoke. On the finish, the silky black tea-like tannins can be expressed until the whisky disappears.
