Description Ichiro’s is known as the “rock star of Japanese whisky”. That may be an exaggeration, but Ichiro Akuto more than deserves the title. His family owned the legendary, now defunct Hanyu Distillery. He created the famous “Playing Cards” series of 58 whiskies that cemented his reputation as a geek genius. Malt & Grain allows you to sample Mr. Akuto’s blending talents without breaking the bank. This whisky is remarkably smooth and fruity. But it’s also smooth and complex, despite its youth. A must have.
