This whisky sounds Japanese, but it is a Japanese blend. Not 100% Japanese whisky.
It actually contains whisky from Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the US. And a small part Japanese.
What makes this dram so special, is that it is a NAS whisky coming in batches from a solera system. This is however, not a big cask of European oak, but a big marrying cask made of Japanese Mizunara oak. Giving the final product its unique style.
Every cask poured into this big cask is personally selected by Ichiro Akuto, founder of Chichibo and it is his name on the label. His Malt&Grain.
