Single Malt Whisky, 'Ichiro's Malt, 10 Year'

• Limited edition single malt Japanese whisky distilled by Chichibu Distillery in Saitama, Japan
• Distilled from 100% lightly peated malted barley
• Fermented 100 hours in Mizunara oak washbacks
• Double distilled in Forsyths copper pot stills
• Aged 10 years in ex–bourbon casks
• A lightly smokey nose leads to honey candies, vanilla, pineapple and citrus with a supporting cast of malt, vanilla pastry cream, and bittersweet grapefruit
• No added coloring
• Non-chill filtered; 50.5% ABV

Marking only the second release of an age-stated whisky since Chichibu produced “The First Ten” in 2020, this expression (also aged 10 years) foregrounds the craft prowess that this celebrated distillery has become known for. Matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels, this lightly peated single malt pays glowing tribute to the house’s signature fruit-forward style and engaging refinement. It’s a benchmark release, as collectable as it is drinkable.
