Experience the sophisticated complexity of Ichiro's Malt Wine Wood Reserve, a refined Japanese whisky created by acclaimed master distiller Ichiro Akuto. With a 46.5% ABV, this exceptional expression embodies Ichiro's Malt's unwavering commitment to quality and innovation. Founded by Ichiro's grandfather in 1941, the brand's origins can be traced back to the renowned Hanyu Distillery. Though production at Hanyu ceased in the early 2000s, Ichiro Akuto revived the family legacy by salvaging casks and blending traditional techniques with modern methods. In 2008, he established the Chichibu Distillery, located near Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture.
The distillery rapidly garnered acclaim for its exceptional whiskies, which combine traditional Scottish methods with unique Japanese techniques. Chichibu's whiskies are celebrated for their complexity and depth, often aged in a variety of cask types, including the distinguished wine casks used for the Wine Wood Reserve.
