Ichiro's Malt & Grain World Blended Limited Edition Whisky

The Ichiro's Malt & Grain World Blended Limited Edition is a profound statement on global whisky harmony. This expression is the elevated, highly-aged version of the popular "White Label" blend. It has been recognized repeatedly as the World's Best Blended Limited Release by the World Whiskies Awards.

This whisky is a monumental vatted blend, combining single malt distilled at Chichibu with carefully selected whiskies from four other major regions: Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the USA. The crucial differentiator is the age: every component in this limited edition is a minimum of 10 years old, with some of the international whiskies reaching an extraordinary age of 20 to 40 years.

The blend is shipped to Japan and given additional maturation time at Chichibu, ensuring the final harmony is achieved under the influence of the unique Japanese terroir. Bottled at a refined 48% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and naturally colored. This is an essential bottle for the serious collector, offering immense complexity, depth, and a seamless blend of world flavors.

Nose: Rich aromas of baked apple, cinnamon spice, and roasted sweet corn transition into deeper notes of old leather, vanilla, and sweet sherry cask influence.

Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, the palate is immediately expressive with layers of toffee, caramel, and malt biscuits. Notes of dark chocolate and savory oak tannins provide structure.

Finish: A long, luxurious, and contemplative conclusion. Lingering warmth evolves with autumn spice, nutmeg, and a delicate, savory earthiness from the ancient oak components.
