Chichibu Ichiro's Malt Maduro (Grand Hyatt Ritz Carlton Tokyo Exclusive 2019) 70cl

1 of 300 Bottles

From its Mizunara wash backs and small stills with steep lyne arms to the fact that the mashman uses a wooden paddle to stir the mash, Chichibu is a hands-on distillery with quality as an intrinsic focus. With the ground now broken on a blending room, and an off-site cooperage, Ichiro Akuto's distillery - formed from the ashes of his grandfather's Hanyu distillery - is one of the finest producers in Japan. With the perfect climate of humid summers and cold winters, Chichibu is an ideal location for whisky production and has become a huge part of the Japanese whisky revolution.

The Chichibu distillery is lately working together closely with the most luxury hotels in Tokyo. After the release of the Chichibu Peninsula 2018 , they have now bottled a single cask blended whisky for the Grand Hyatt Hotel as well. This new release is called Ichiro’s Malt & Grain Maduro and will be sold exclusively in the hotel’s Maduro lounge. Moreover, it is also the very first Japanese whisky by the Grand Hyatt hotel chain (YES, it is very collectible among the investors!)

Ichiro's Malt & Grain is blended by the king of independent Japanese distillers: Ichiro Akuto. Maduro is named after the jazz lounge of the same name with staff from the bar selecting the components of the whisky.

It comprises whisky from his own stocks, as well as his own Chichibu distillery, and possibly also some components distilled at other Japanese distilleries and from other countries.
