Today we are pleased to announce the arrival of the newly released Ichiro’s Malt&Grain Classical Edition from Kanosuke Distillery.
The maltiness of the wine is high, the smokiness is gentle, and the aroma is multi-layered.
The taste overturns the image of Ichiro’s Malt until now. Compared to the White Label, the Classical Edition is by far the most gorgeous, sweet, and complex. The finish is not just one rank up, but three ranks up.
The regular price of 7,700 yen is more than the 6,600 yen price of the Leaf series, so it is probably fair to say that the price is reasonable.
This whisky is the result of the Chichibu distillery’s “unique variety of original spirits” and “blending ability” and can be called a superb product.
