From its Mizunara wash backs and small stills with steep lyne arms to the fact that the mashman uses a wooden paddle to stir the mash, Chichibu is a hands-on distillery with quality as an intrinsic focus. With the ground now broken on a blending room, and an off-site cooperage, Ichiro Akuto's distillery - formed from the ashes of his grandfather's Hanyu distillery - is one of the finest producers in Japan. With the perfect climate of humid summers and cold winters, Chichibu is an ideal location for whisky production and has become a huge part of the Japanese whisky revolution.

Ichiro's Malt & Grain is blended by the king of independent Japanese distillers: Ichiro Akuto.

It comprises whisky from his own stocks, including Hanyu 27 Year Old, Kawasaki 35 Year Old, and Chichibu 5 Year Old.

48% ABV / 70cl
