Ichiro's Malt & Grain 20th Anniversary Edition World Blended Whisky

This world blended whisky, crafted by Ichiro Akuto, founder of the Chichibu Distillery, celebrates the 20th anniversary of Venture Whisky. Established in September 2004, at a time when the whisky industry was struggling, Chichibu aimed to share the original spirits inherited from Ichiro Akuto's father while crafting a new Whisky which captured the essence of Japanese Whisky making and blending.

The whisky combines oak-aged malt and grain whiskies from various renowned regions, including those from the Chichibu Distillery, which began operations in 2008. Carefully matured in Chichibu’s cellars, the result is a well-balanced whisky with a distinctive character. The composition reflects the history of Venture Whisky, and the distillery expresses gratitude to its supporters, hoping they will continue to enjoy their offerings for years to come.

The whisky has an aroma of golden peach, pineapple, honey, mint, and cinnamon. It tastes malty and sweet, with juicy fruit, vanilla, and spices, finishing with a complex blend of acidity, spiciness, and lingering sweetness.
