Chichibu 2013 Ichiro's Malt / Whisky Talk 2020 Fukuoka

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.

The now seemingly annual Ichiro's malt release for the Whisky Talk festival. This is the 2020 Fukuoka release, distilled in 2013 and matured in a bourbon barrel.
