Chichibu Ichiro’s Malt & Grain Review
This globe-trotting blend fuses whiskeys from Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the United States, with a 10-year-old Japanese whisky, which forms the core of the expression. If those seem to be some very different flavor profiles, rest assured that they come together seamlessly. Vibrant tropical fruit and banana aromas lead to rich caramel and peppery spice on the palate. Each sip reveals something new about this intriguing blend.
