List of Ichiro's Malts
The Ichiro's Malt brand has releases so many individual bottlings that it is sometimes difficult for Nonjatta to keep up. Below are a couple that I bumped into along the way and have not tasted. This page is really just an aide-memoire for myself.

I chatted with the barmen who seems to be into whiskies, and i ended up trying a glenlivet 12y old, in a version bottled something like 20-30 years ago. Fantastic, but this time quite expensive (4500y a glass). He had at least 3 bottles of this one, which he said was his favorite whisky of all, and quite different from the more recent versions...
