Ichiro's Malt & Grain 111 Proof Japanese Whisky 700ml

Chichibu's Cask Strength Statement — Ichiro's 111 Proof

Ichiro Akuto is one of the most celebrated figures in Japanese whisky — the founder of Chichibu Distillery and the man who saved the legendary Hanyu casks from destruction, creating the iconic Card Series that became some of the most sought-after bottles in whisky history. The Malt & Grain 111 Proof is a cask strength blended whisky that combines Chichibu malt with Japanese grain whisky, delivering a bold, complex expression that showcases Ichiro's blending mastery at full power.
