TASTING NOTES - ICHIRO'S MALT DOUBLE DISTILLERIES 2021

Nose

Slightly closed at the beginning, then some sherried notes are given off in a very shy way: some wet sultanas, dried out figs, strawberry jam (dried out in the sun). Vanilla and toffee.

Palate

This is truly more expressive, with a warm mouthfeel right at the entrance, with sweet spices and white pepper. Bloody orange, very ripe peaches, with a very well managed sweetness and a nice ABV, high enough to push sensations and aromas.

Finish

Medium long, still on the bloody orange with spices, well balanced.

Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries 2021 is a rather closed nose product, which on the contrary opens up quite a bit on the palate, adding spice and blood orange for a warm, long lasting mouthfeel. The ABV seems well chosen , especially to push the palatal experience, which provide a rather long finish. As said, something missing on the slim nose.
