CHICHIBU ICHIROS MALT & GRAIN LIMITED EDITION WHISKY 700ML

Style: Whisky

Ichiro Akuto¿s was born into a family that brewed sake for more than 300 years. Around 1945 his grandfather started distilling whisky in addition to sake. Akuto¿s father, continued the Hanyu Distillery until Japan¿s economy downturn at the tun of the century and the marker for Sake fell out. 

Re-establishing the Hanyu distillery as Chichibu in 2008, Akuto bought his formidable skills, extensive experiences at Suntory and family legacy into the fold. Buying back 400 casks of Hanyu distillery whiskey he started his venture with the famous Ichiro¿s Malt Whisky and has expanded into single expressions and specialty releases that are highly regarded and sought after in the world of whisky. PWS

Like the entry Malt and Grain, this is a blend of Whiskies from around the globe, but here the practically ancient Akuto stocks (up to 40 years old) also feature, along with a higher proportion of malt to grain. Again, we don¿t know the exact balance. You can expect the blend to include Scotch Whisky, Canadian Rye Whisky, American Bourbon, Irish Whiskey, and Ichiro¿s own Japanese single malt Whisky. Each Whisk(e)y is aged for at least 10 years before vatting; many of the sourced whiskies are aged 20¿40 years. It is packaged in Mizunara oak. IMPORTER NOTES
