Discover a remarkable Japanese whisky that brings together two important chapters of one family’s distilling story. Ichiro’s Malt Double Distilleries (46.5%) Japanese Blended Malt Whisky combines single malt whisky from the historic Hanyu distillery, founded by Ichiro Akuto’s grandfather, with malt from the Chichibu distillery, established nearby by Ichiro himself.

Bottled at a confident 46.5% ABV and presented in a generous 70cl bottle, this whisky is made for enthusiasts who want something distinctive, approachable, and rewarding. It is a smart choice for enjoying at home, sharing with friends, or giving as a memorable gift to someone who appreciates Japanese whisky.
A Meaningful Meeting of Two Distilleries
The name “Double Distilleries” reflects the whisky’s unique foundation. It brings together malt from Hanyu and Chichibu, linking the legacy of an older generation with the vision of a modern Japanese whisky maker. Hanyu contributes heritage and history, while Chichibu represents energy, craftsmanship, and a fresh approach.
This connection gives the whisky more than an interesting backstory. It creates a balanced drinking experience in which different qualities work together beautifully. The style feels layered and carefully considered, yet it remains easy to enjoy whether you are new to Japanese whisky or already familiar with the category.
Nutty, Balanced, and Full of Character
One of the standout features of this expression is its deliciously nutty character. Expect a satisfying combination of gentle malt sweetness, toasted notes, and a rounded texture. The whisky has enough strength to hold your attention, while its balanced profile makes it comfortable to sip slowly.
