Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries 2021 is a Japanese blended malt whisky that epitomizes the craftsmanship and innovation of the Chichibu and Komagatake distilleries. Produced by Venture Whisky, a company founded by Ichiro Akuto, this elegant whisky is a tribute to the heritage of the Hanyu distillery, from which Ichiro Akuto inherited the last remaining stocks of single malt. The Chichibu Distillery commenced its operations in 2008, while the Shinshu Distillery, located at the foot of Mt. Kisokoma in the Central Alps, resumed distillation in 2011.
The Chichibu Distillery benefits from the temperature variations and the proximity of the Arakawa River, creating an ideal environment for whisky production. This release, Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries 2021, is a delightful blend of whiskies matured in a combination of ex-bourbon, American white oak, and ex-sherry casks. Limited to just 10,200 bottles and bottled at an ABV of 53.5%, it showcases the skill and dedication of its makers.
The aroma of this whisky is a harmonious blend of citrus notes, tropical fruit aromas, and hints of orange zest and spice. The palate unfolds sweet and spicy flavors, including galangal, toasted oak, buttery notes, with subtle hints of apple and cinnamon. The finish is long and lingering, offering a delightful mix of mango, old books, and a hint of vanilla.

A true expression of Japanese whisky mastery, it presents a complex and nuanced flavor profile that blends tropical fruit and spice with a touch of elegance.
