Tasting note

品飲筆記：這款 Classical Edition 帶著親人的友善感，入口先是圓潤麥香與焦糖甜，接著展開蜂蜜、烤穀物與溫和香料的層次，尾段有淡淡煙燻與橡木的收乾感。口感飽滿但不厚重，細緻且順口。 酒莊背景：由秩父蒸餾所創辦人之孫 Ichiro Akuto 親自監製，秩父自 2007 年起以對季節變化的敏感度聞名，將日本匠心與世界風味融合。 釀造過程：採用多款麥芽與穀物酒液調和，經多種類型的桶陳以堆疊香氣與口感。調和工序強調平衡，讓甜感與香料、木質相互呼應。 田地與原料：雖非以葡萄為本，原料的穀物來源與當地氣候影響了麥香與穀物感，賦予這支酒清晰的麥芽輪廓與餘韻中的堅果與烤麥氣息。整體語氣輕鬆，適合細細品味或搭配風味料理。

Tasting Note: A polished, approachable world blend from Ichiro Akuto’s house style—soft malt sweetness opens into layers of vanilla, caramel and toasted cereal, with warm spice and a whisper of smoke. Orchard-fruit notes and honeyed richness give way to a long, gently drying oak finish. Producer Notes: Crafted under Ichiro Akuto—grandson of the Hanyu founder—this Classical Edition celebrates the Chichibu spirit of precision and balance. The blend draws on malt and grain components from diverse sources, assembled to showcase harmony and accessibility. Distilling & Maturation: The whiskies are carefully married from malt and grain distillates, matured across a selection of cask types to build depth and texture. The result is a medium‑full-bodied whisky with layered sweet and savory elements and a persistent finish. Grain & Terroir: Grain selection and temperate seasonal variation contribute to the spirit’s delicate malt character and cereal backbone. The blend emphasizes clean malt, toasted nut notes and restrained oak, reflecting meticulous sourcing and blending.
