Ichiro's Malt & Grain 111 Proof, 59%

Price: 90 Issue: Winter 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: World Whisky

A superb blend of Chichibu and world whiskies. The nose has satsuma, lemon zest, thick caramel, spring florals, and candy cola bottles. Creamsicle, malt, bitter coffee, dark chocolate, black cherry, raisin, leather, clove, anise, and Dr Pepper on the palate. The finish has clove and licorice root. It really packs in a lot. Water vanquishes any bitter notes, adding sweeter dark chocolate flavors.
