Ichiro's Malt & Grain World Blend 2018 70cl 48°
Ichiro’s Malt & Grain World Blend is modelled on the famous Ichiro’s Malt&Grain except that it is made from malts from different countries including Scotland, Ireland, Canada or the United States, hence its name "World Blend Whisky".
To create this blend, the Chichibu distillery used whiskies more than 10 years old to create this fantastic blend with a complex profile, whose aromas are marked by very fruity notes of citrus, peach and vanilla.

Chichibu distillery, located in Saitama prefecture, north of Tokyo, is owned by Venture Whisky, a Japanese whisky producer under the Ichiro’s Malt brand.
In 2007, Ichiro Akuto, the grandson of the founder of the Hanyu distillery, started a new chapter in Japan's whisky history by building Chichibu distillery.
Situated about 70km north-west of Tokyo, production began in February 2008.
The equipment includes a small mill, a mash tun, washbacks made of Jpanese oak (mizunara) and a pair of small copper stills manufactured by Forsyths of Rothes, Scotland.
Several different casks types are used, including Bourbon barrels, Sherry butts and Hogsheads, all matured in a traditional Dunnage style warehouse.
Enhanced by their environment, Chichibu whiskies are non-chill filtered and not coloured.
