Ichiro's Malt & Grain 20th Anniversary is a special edition whisky crafted to celebrate two decades of Ichiro Akuto’s visionary contributions to the world of whisky. As a pioneer in Japanese whisky-making, Ichiro’s Malt & Grain has become synonymous with excellence and creativity, and this anniversary release exemplifies the culmination of his dedication and expertise.

On the nose, the 20th Anniversary edition offers a refined complexity. Aromas of ripe orchard fruits—apples and pears—are beautifully complemented by delicate floral notes and a hint of honey. Soft vanilla and subtle oak further enhance the bouquet, while whispers of spice and citrus zest add a lively character.

The palate unfolds with remarkable balance and depth. Rich layers of dried fruits, like figs and raisins, intertwine with creamy toffee and sweet malt, providing a luxurious mouthfeel. Hints of dark chocolate and a gentle spice from the oak add to the complexity, while a touch of toasted nuts lends warmth. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering flavors of caramel, vanilla, and a light oak smokiness that leaves a lasting impression. This 20th Anniversary edition is a tribute to Ichiro’s legacy, celebrating the art of blending and the beauty of time-honored craftsmanship.
