Ichiro's Malt and Grain Japanese Whisky

The titans of Japanese Whiskey, Suntory and Nikka, have long taken the spotlight and demand of all the avid whiskey buyers and collectors who flock over to haul bottles back home. But Japan has more to uncover beyond these two monopoles. Ichiro Akuto is founder and master distiller of Ichiro’s Malt with Chichibu distillery northwest of Tokyo and has some of the most prized stock of Japanese Whiskey in the world dating back to the 1940s from his grandfather’s previous work. The Malt and Grain is a blend of Ichiro’s core distillate and whiskies from around the world that are aged in their countries of origin and for some time in Chichibu. Aromas of honeycomb, French toast, espresso and creamy malt tingle the nostrils with flavors of milk coffee, caramel cubes, black pepper and gingerbread are displayed. Love Hibiki?
