Editorial insight
Double Distilleries is not merely a blend of malts — it is a synthesis of Ichiro Akuto's narrative. It carries the historical density of Hanyu and the contemporary energy of Chichibu, with a texture that conveys craft and rigorous selection. It is a bottle of interest for what it delivers in the glass, but also for everything it represents within modern Japanese whisky.
Heritage & character
The Ichiro's Malt brand was born from the work of Ichiro Akuto, heir to the lineage tied to Hanyu and founder of Venture Whisky and Chichibu Distillery. Hanyu, now closed, left a legacy highly sought by collectors, while Chichibu became one of the most influential Japanese distilleries of recent decades. Double Distilleries unites both worlds and has established itself as an essential reference for understanding the identity of the house.
