Chichibu Ichiro’s Malt & Grain Whisky Limited Edition Review

Containing a blend of Japanese single malt, Scotch, Canadian rye, Irish whiskey, and bourbon, this limited-edition release contains distillates that aged for over two decades, according to the brand. Despite the number of distillates in the blend, the spirit comes together seamlessly, offering delightfully complex flavors and aromas of dark chocolate, leather, and oaky vanilla. More robust flavors are accompanied by heavier, earthy peat notes followed by a warm, contemplative finish.
