Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries - 70cl

The Two Distilleries ConceptThe whisky was created by Ichiro Akuto, one of the most respected figures in contemporary Japanese whisky. This expression combines malts from:Hanyu Distillery: The distillery founded by Ichiro’s grandfather, which closed its doors in 2000. Ichiro rescued the final remaining casks of this historic malt.Chichibu Distillery: The distillery founded by Ichiro himself in 2008 to carry on his family's legacy.
The Aging ProfileThe complexity of this iconic green-labeled bottle (often known as the Green Leaf) comes from a unique combination of woods:The Hanyu malt brings robustness and structure, having been matured in old Sherry Hogsheads.The Chichibu malt provides freshness and sweetness, aged in new Japanese Mizunara Oak casks.
Tasting NotesNose: Very fruity and fresh, highlighting notes of green apple, pear, honey, vanilla, and a floral touch of jasmine.Palate: Spicy and lively entry. It reveals notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and citrus (like tangerine), followed by dark chocolate and the subtle, aromatic wood influence of Mizunara.Finish: Long, slightly dry, with a pleasant herbal bitterness and hints of ginger and mint.
