Tasting Notes

Nose

Honey, vanilla, a gentle complexity. Layers of grain and malt interweave — bourbon sweetness, Scotch maltiness, Japanese precision. A touch of citrus and a faint floral quality. The nose unfolds slowly, revealing new details with each return.

Palate

Smooth and layered — caramel, stone fruit, a gentle spice. The blending of whiskies from Japan, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the United States creates a palate that is genuinely international — familiar elements assembled in an unfamiliar way. Mid-palate brings malt, toffee and a subtle oak warmth.

Finish

Medium-long, with a gentle sweetness and a clean, balanced warmth that reflects the precision of the blending.

Ichiro Akuto's world blend — malt and grain from five countries married with a Japanese blender's precision.
