Ichiro's Malt & Grain World Blended Whisky

This blended malt and grain whisky from the Chichibu Distillery is complex and harmonious all thanks to Ichiro Akuto, owner of the famous distillery. In addition to his own whiskies this blend has whisky from America, Canada, Scotland and Ireland to create a perfect balance and expressive treat. It displays notes of malted barley, apples and subtle cinnamon. The palate showcases notes of honey and stone fruits with a touch of vanilla, before finishing with pears and a whisper of milk chocolate.

Suntory Hakushu Distillers Reserve

Suntory Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve comes from the Hakushu distillery, often called the “Forest Distillery” thanks to its location deep in the Japanese Alps. Surrounded by dense woodland and fed by exceptionally pure mountain water, Hakushu has built a reputation for producing fresh, lightly smoky whiskies with a distinctly green, herbal character. Distiller’s Reserve was created to showcase that house style by blending young, vibrant malt with older, subtly peated components, giving it both brightness and depth. Its aroma shows fresh green apple, soft smoke, mint, pine and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it offers a clean, lively texture with notes of pear, light peat, herbal freshness and a gentle sweetness that keeps it balanced. The finish is crisp, lightly smoky and refreshing, making it a versatile Japanese whisky that works beautifully neat, with water or in a highball.
