Product details
Ichiro’s Malt & Grain 111 Proof is an exclusive U.S. release crafted by Chichibu Distillery in Saitama, Japan, blending a remarkable selection of whiskies from around the world. This intricate blend includes Scotch, Canadian rye, American whiskey, Irish whiskey, and Chichibu’s own Japanese single malt, all aged between 4 to 17 years. The whiskies are matured in a variety of cask types, including ex-bourbon and ex-rye whiskey barrels, which contribute to the complexity and depth of the final expression. Bottled without additives or coloring, and non-chill filtered, this whisky sits at a robust 55.5% ABV, delivering a bold and unadulterated experience.
On the nose, sweet aromas of cola, shortbread, and tobacco set the stage for a palate that unveils candied orange, dried pineapple, and a delicate touch of peat smoke. The finish is rich with tropical fruit and a subtle sea salt note, offering a well-rounded balance of flavors. In contrast to Chichibu Distillery’s flagship "white label" world whisky, this blend stands out with the inclusion of peated malt and a new cask regimen, offering a bolder and more intense flavor profile. With its high proof and unique blend, Ichiro’s Malt & Grain 111 Proof is a standout within the distillery’s core lineup, making it a must-try for whisky enthusiasts.
