After working alongside Ichiro Akuto at the Chichibu distillery, Yoshiharu Takeuchi followed his mentor’s advice and equipped Nine Leaves with stills built by the renowned Scottish coppersmith Forsyths, based in Rothes, Speyside. The squat, wide wash still recalls those at Chichibu, while the tall spirit still with its long swan neck is reminiscent of Glenmorangie’s. Blended from three 300-litre casks that previously held Armagnac, this small batch reveals the full complexity of an exceptionally pure distillate. Airy and elegant, its aromatic and flavour palette unfolds through a graceful succession of fruity, spicy, liqueur-like, herbal and floral sequences, each more delicate than the last.
