Here's a review from Serge Valentin at Whiskyfun

Chichibu 8 yo 2014/2024 (56.4%, Adelphi, Japan, cask #3822, 215 bottles)Ah, there we have it, brilliant! It seems they’ve finally upped the font size on their labels at Adelphi, but now it's all in Japanese! Provocative, isn’t it? Not that we don’t admire Japanese characters, mind you… Colour: straw. Nose: razor-sharp precision, pure barley, lemon, and that’s all, basta cosi. With water: even more pinpoint, almost Malevich-esque. A white square on a white background. Mouth (neat): pure Chichibu, thick yet nervous, tense, with barley, lemon, and a hint of hay. Tiny notes of gentian and absinthe peeking through. With water: sublime purity, with that barley nudging its way back in. Finish: long, lemony, slightly waxy, a tad thick, with a whisper of tar. Comments: simply our preferred style. And it’s hardly surprising that the folks at Ardnamurchan/Adelphi chose this cask. Great minds think alike, and all that. However, there’s still the matter of sorting out that label issue. When’s the head designer retiring, again? Anyway, gold.
