Ichiros Malt & Grain World Blended Whisky
A Masterful Blend from East and West
Ichiros Malt & Grain World Blended Whisky showcases the brilliance of Ichiro Akuto, founder of the Chichibu distillery. This unique expression blends malt and grain whiskies from Japan, Scotland, Canada, and the United States. Each sip tells the story of global craftsmanship, united under Ichiro’s expert touch.
Exceptional Ingredients and True Balance
Crafted from carefully chosen casks, this blend includes spirits from nine malt distilleries and two grain distilleries. Naturally, the Chichibu distillery features prominently in this lineup. The result is a whisky that’s smooth, complex, and perfectly balanced.
Each element contributes to a vibrant and harmonious profile. The whisky is non-chill filtered and non-coloured, preserving its authentic texture and character. It’s an honest, unaltered experience for whisky lovers.
Aromatic Profile That Delights
Ichiro’s Malt & Grain opens with a bouquet of floral and spicy notes. Hints of rose, lavender, and orange blossom dance delicately on the nose. These are followed by a touch of pepper, ginger, and nutmeg for a bold, warming spice.
On the palate, expect soft cereals like barley, rye, and wheat. These give the blend a comforting roundness and depth. Every note is clear, yet nothing overwhelms. The finish is long, clean, and subtly woody, with lingering spice.
World Whisky with a Japanese Soul
This is more than just a blend—it’s a global vision. Ichiro Akuto travels the world to source exceptional casks. He selects each with precision to complement his Chichibu malts. The outcome is a whisky that feels deeply Japanese in spirit, yet international in reach.

Ichiro’s Malt was founded in 2008 and quickly gained a reputation for innovation and quality. With roots in his grandfather’s Hanyu distillery, Ichiro Akuto has redefined Japanese whisky. His use of world malts and grains has opened new possibilities in blending.
