Ichiro's Malt Wine Wood Reserve is a Blended Malt whisky from Japan, produced by the renowned whisky maker Ichiro Akuto. This edition is unique as it contains not only Japanese whiskies from the Chichibu distillery but also a Scottish single malt, all of which have been meticulously finished in red wine casks. The whiskies are aged in old red wine barrels sourced from around the world before being blended and further matured in French oak Ovum (egg-shaped) casks. These Ovum casks, crafted by the Charentais Meilleurs Ouvriers de France at Taransaud, are highly regarded in Bordeaux. This whisky is a rich and complex blend, offering an array of flavors such as black cherries, brambles, crème de cassis, chocolate, licorice, violets, pepper, cinnamon, and Chinese five-spice. These notes evoke the lush characteristics of jammy Bordeaux wines, while hints of roasted flavors and crème brûlée remind you that it is unmistakably a high-quality whisky. As a vatted malt, Ichiro's Malt Wine Wood Reserve is composed of Chichibu, Hanyu, and Scottish single malts. The final product is unfiltered, potentially containing a natural deposit, further enhancing its authenticity. The maturation process takes place in a distillery warehouse subjected to drastic temperature changes, which accelerate the whisky's aging and add deep complexity to its profile. The red wine barrels contribute pleasant tannins, acidity, and a dry fruitiness that linger on the palate, making this whisky a truly unique experience.
