Akuto comes from a family with a long history in the alcohol industry; his grandfather founded a sake brewery in 1941.
The Chichibu Distillery officially began operations in 2008, producing its first spirit in the February of that year. Ichiro Akuto’s vision was to produce high-quality, small-batch single malt whisky, utilising traditional methods combined with innovative approaches. During its early years, Chichibu focused on laying down stock and experimenting with various cask types and maturation processes. Their first Single Malt release took place in 2011.
Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries is a unique blend of two iconic Japanese single malt whiskies from Chichibu and the now closed Hanyu distillery. Expertly blended to showcase the subtleties of the two distilleries, and features notes of almond and macadamia with white flowers and subtle jasmine, finishing with stone fruits and warming wood spice.
A Blended Malt Japanese Whisky. Matured, vatted and bottled in Chichibu.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
