In a marked departure from Chichibu Distillery's flagship "white label" world whisky, Ichiro's Malt & Grain 111 Proof features the inclusion of peated malt, an entirely new cask regimen, and is bottled at the highest proof for a core blend outside of Chichibu's distillery-exclusive releases. This US-exclusive blend of malt and grain whiskies vatted and matured by Chichibu Distillery in Saitama, Japan. Whiskies include Scotch, Canadian rye, American whiskey, Irish whiskey, and Ichiro's own Japanese single malt — aged 4-17 years in a combination of cask types including ex-bourbon and ex-rye whiskey barrels. Bottled at a 55.5% ABV without additives or coloring and non-chill filtered. Tasting notes from the distiller: "Sweet aromas of cola, shortbread, and tobacco precede a palate highlighting candied orange and dried pineapple with subtle peat smoke on a finish flush with tropical fruit and sea salt."
