Chichibu Ichiro’s Malt & Grain Cask #11955

Chichibu Ichiro's Malt and Grain Cask 11955 is a single-cask expression of Venture Whisky's world-blended Ichiro's Malt and Grain range, released in 2023 for a specific event market. As with other releases in the Ichiro's Malt and Grain series, the blend draws on malt and grain from multiple sources, and its precise makeup beyond the Chichibu contribution is not disclosed. The series has been openly presented as a world blend, meaning imported spirit may feature alongside Japanese components, and the cask number here is the key identifier for this individual release.

This bottling was matured across both Ex-Bourbon and red wine casks before being drawn at 59% cask strength. The red wine wood adds dried cherry, berry spice and a wine-tinged depth to the vanilla and cereal sweetness of the Ex-Bourbon, producing a richer and more textured result than the standard single-wood expressions in the range.
