Ichiro's Malt Chichibu The First

Whisky on the Hudson 9/18/2014 : This is my first taste of Japanese whiskey and wasn't sure what to initially expect. I found the nose to have a fruity sweetness with some butter hints. The whiskey on the palate hit me with a sweet, light plum profile. The texture was extremely thin and felt like it was watered down. I sadly found this to finish with almost nothing. A disappointingly bland finish. I was hoping for a rich, fruity sweetness dram. When calculating the cost of the dram or bottle into to the score, then this gets 1 star.
