Ichiro's Malt Chichibu The U.S Edition 2026 Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml

Discover Ichiro's Malt Chichibu The US Edition 2026, an exclusive limited-edition Japanese single malt whisky created specifically for the US market. Produced at the renowned Chichibu Distillery in Saitama, Japan, this special release showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and innovative cask selection that have made Chichibu one of Japan's most sought-after whisky producers.

This 2026 edition brings together 16 carefully selected casks, primarily first-fill bourbon barrels, complemented by three California red wine casks from different wineries. A single peated cask adds a subtle layer of smoky complexity to the whisky's vibrant fruit-forward character.

The nose opens with fresh aromas of green apple, banana, blackberry, vanilla, honey, and yellow peach. On the palate, layers of pear, plum, guava, apricot, pineapple candy, and raisins create a rich and expressive fruit profile. The finish is mellow and juicy, with a soft texture and lingering fruity sweetness.

Bottled at 52.5% ABV, this exclusive US release is a distinctive addition to any Japanese whisky collection.
