    This Japanese Blended Malt is a vatting of single malts from Chichibu and Hanyu, with the addition of Chichibu spirit which is peated—hence the name Double Distilleries + Peated. Bottled in 2018 at cask strength 61.3% ABV, it was a highly limited release of just 129 bottles. This is the tenth installment in the Yoshitoshi Ghost Series, a collection of rare Japanese whiskies curated by Stefan Van Eycken, whisky enthusiast and author of Whisky Rising: The Definitive Guide to the Finest Whiskies and Distillers of Japan. Each bottle in the series features a Ukiyo-e artwork from Yoshitoshi’s New Forms of 36 Ghosts.

    Blended Malt

    Blended malts, previously known as "vatted malts" or "pure malts," are whiskies made by blending two or more single malt whiskies from different distilleries. This category allows for the creation of a unique flavour profile that can't be achieved by a single malt alone, combining the best characteristics of various malts. Blended malts offer complexity and can vary widely in taste, from sweet and fruity to spicy and peaty, depending on the malts included in the blend. Notable examples include Compass Box's "Asyla" and "Spice Tree," which showcase innovative blending, or Johnnie Walker's "Green Label," which highlights the harmony of Speyside, Highland, Lowland, and Islay malts. These whiskies appeal to those looking for a bridge between single malts and blended whiskies, offering depth and versatility in whisky appreciation.
