A blend of malt and grain whiskies vatted and matured by master distiller Ichiro Akuto at the Chichibu Distillery in Saitama, Japan, Ichiro's Malt and Grain is crafted to balance a heart of Japanese whisky with the complementary nuances of global whiskies. Whiskies include Scotch, Canadian rye, American whiskey, Irish whiskey, and Ichiro's own Japanese single malts. Aromas of apricot, popcorn toffee, Meyer lemon zest, and vanilla cream transition to a lightly textured palate of toffee, roasted chestnut, and gingerbread with a peppery, honeyed finish.
