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

Distillery Information
Fueled by a belief in the potential for Japanese single malts, Ichiro purchased the casks from his father. Also, Ichiro began studying distillation techniques at Benriach and Springbank Distillery, before returning to Japan and constructing a state-of-the-art distillery in Chichibu.
