Ichiros Malt & Grain World Blended Japanese Whisky (700ml)

Created by Ichiro Akuto at his Chichibu Distillery (est. 2004) using both local and imported whiskies, Ichiro's intention here is to offer a quality Japanese experience that's also affordable. Depending on your source, his own malt forms the base (1-3 year old Chichibu), combined with 3-5 year old whiskies from Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the US. The composition is vatted in two 5000-litre wooden barrels built by renowned French cooper, Taransaud. Non chill filtration and a decent ABV contribute added depth and mouthfeel resulting in a quintessential example of Japanese blending skill that's also food-friendly. 46.5% Alc./Vol.
