Description

Ichiro's Malt & Grain World Blended Whisky is a core offering from Ichiro Akuto, founder of the Chichibu Distillery in Japan. It is a 'world blended whisky' combining malt and grain whiskies from Japan (including Chichibu's own malt) with whiskies sourced from other major whisky regions like Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the USA. The foreign components are matured in their home countries for 3-5 years, then shipped to Chichibu for additional maturation and final blending. It is bottled without coloring and is non-chill filtered.

Nose
Vibrant aromas of apricot, Meyer lemon zest, and vanilla cream mingle with delicate hints of spring flowers and candied toffee. Very fruity, with peaches, bananas, apples and pears. Also a bit of lemon. Vanilla and a light caramel note. Cereal grain.
Palate
Toffee first and foremost, with notes of barley malt, gingerbread, tropical fruits, honeyed pipe tobacco leaves, black pepper, roasted chestnut and freshly cut hay. Vanilla and tropical fruits similar to the nose. Light rye spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) and caramel come up quickly. Hazelnut and chocolate. Candied ginger (gingerbread?) with some chili powder and black pepper. Tobacco leaf.
Finish
Medium length with vanilla and dried tropical fruit. Honeyed sweetness at first, but with cinnamon and cayenne pepper building over time. Banana, hazelnut and ginger linger the longest. Puckering astringency on the finish, with lemon pith returning.
