Despite its relatively small scale, the distillery has developed an extraordinary international following through meticulous production, experimentation with different oak types and an uncompromising focus on quality. The Paris Edition series has been produced since 2018 and has become particularly sought after amongst enthusiasts and collectors. For the 2025 release, Chichibu brought together 17 individual casks: four new French oak casks, one Spanish oak sherry cask, three ex-Bordeaux red wine casks, one American oak hogshead, six bourbon barrels and two bourbon barrels previously containing heavily peated whisky. The result is an unusually complex Chichibu balancing fruit, malt, oak, wine influence and restrained peat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe aroma is rich and wonderfully expressive, opening with tropical passionfruit and lychee alongside dark grapes, blackberry and ripe plum. Sweet malt provides the foundation, while cinnamon, earthy woodland notes and subtle peat introduce additional depth. The palate begins lively and oily, with lemon, cracked pepper and assertive yet controlled peat before developing into sweeter notes of honey and beeswax. Toasted bread, creamy malt and ripe mirabelle and damson plums add richness as the whisky opens. The finish is long and concentrated, carrying malt and gentle peat into herbal notes of mint, gentian and sage before candied fruits, toffee and Bourbon vanilla emerge, leaving an elegant balance of fruit, sweetness, spice and smoke.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"chichibu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54556073623862,"sku":null,"price":609.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2558\/3414\/files\/Chichibuparis2025-LeMarais.webp?v=1789376924","url":"https:\/\/hiliquor.com.au\/products\/chichibu-paris-edition-2025-le-marais-50-5","provider":"Hi_liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
