Chichibu Golden Horse Bottling Note
By gosh by golly, hold on to your horses. It's a super rare Chichibu, bottled by Golden Horse. This was bottled at cask strength in July 2008, and all the bottlers are numbered. Expect a lot of complexity and flavour.
Nose: Notes of oak and iodine, some smoke and peanut butter, and soft, oily peat. Very unusual. Hard to peg this one down.
Palate: Oily and peaty, with a lot of coastal notes going on. Hints of salty butter on toasted crumpets, and a little almond oil late palate. Very spicy!
Finish: Spicy with chili warmth and a hot slab of peat now. Like an explosion! Really very good indeed.
