Ichiro's Malt & Grain represents an unprecedented global whisky collaboration. This distinctive blend marries up to 10-year-old Chichibu whiskey with carefully selected expressions from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and America—each aged 3-20 years in their respective countries before being transferred to Chichibu for an additional 2-3 years of maturation. The result is a harmoniously balanced composition where Japanese whisky forms the foundation, enriched by the character and complexity of the world's premier whisky-producing regions.
