Tasting notes.
A bridge between cultures,in a bottle of Chichibu.
Released in 2026 to mark the centenary of Claude Monet’s passing, this Paris Edition from Chichibu Distillery pays homage to the French Impressionist’s fascination with Japan — a passion that led him to build a Japanese-inspired bridge in his Giverny garden, a motif he painted endlessly.
The whisky is a small-batch vatting of 14 casks, aged 6 to 12 years in first-fill and second-fill Bourbon barrels, Oloroso sherry hogsheads, and new American white oak. Bottled at 50.5 % without chill filtration or added colouring, it is presented in six distinct labels, each featuring a Monet artwork — a total of 2,484 bottles worldwide.
