Ichiro's Malt 2006 American Style Whiskey Chichibu Finish #1568 / Milwaukee's Club 30th Anniversary - Signed

The Ichiro's Malt brand is produced by Japanese firm, Venture Whisky, and is named after their founder, Ichiro Akuto. Venture Whisky was established in 2004 after Ichiro acquired the remaining unblended stocks of single malt from his grandfather's Hanyu distillery. Ichiro's Malt was born the following year, with the release of the original 'Card' series single casks of Hanyu. The company then opened its own distillery in 2008, the increasingly sought-after Chichibu. In addition to bottling these two single malts, the Ichiro's Malt brand has also produced a number of sought after blended whiskies like this over the years.

This is a particularly unusual bottling of whiskey from an undisclosed Kentucky distillery (although likely Wild Turkey, based on previous releases), matured for a period in Kentucky, then for a further period of time in the warehouses of Chichibu distillery in Japan. The whisky was re-racked into a single refill puncheon, formerly used to mature XChichibu whisky, in 2006. This was bottled in 2020 to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Saitama-based whisky bar/retailer Milwaukee's Club.

One of 520 bottles.
