More questions

This premium whisky, Ichiro's Malt & Grain, represents an impeccable fusion of refined malts and grains sourced from Japanese and international distilleries, masterfully curated by the renowned Chichibu Distillery. Its unique composition combines unpeated malt and sweet grain, creating a harmony of flavors that seduces the palate from the very first sip.

Ichiro's Malt & Grain Whisky stands out for its bright golden color and an aromatic bouquet that combines notes of vanilla, baked apple, and subtle hints of pepper. On the palate, it offers a surprising gustatory complexity with accents of candied fruit, chocolate, and a touch of nutmeg, balanced by a slight astringency that cleanses the palate, leaving a persistent and pleasantly spicy aftertaste.

Ideal to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a base for sophisticated cocktails. Its versatility and depth of flavor make it a must-have for connoisseurs of quality whisky. This whisky not only celebrates the art of distillation but also offers a sensory experience that recalls Japan's rich tradition and innovation in the field of distillates.

Distillation
Pot stills (two pear-shaped Forsyth pot stills, small capacity)
Ageing
Maturation in dunnage warehouses with a wide variety of casks; frequent use of finishes and maturation in different casks and single-cask and small-batch bottlings.
