Introducing Akashi 6-Year White Oak Single Malt Whisky: A Cognac and Red Wine Cask Finish

The journey of this whisky begins with five years of maturation in carefully selected Cognac casks, imparting a distinct character and depth to the spirit. The time spent in these casks allows the whisky to absorb the rich flavors and aromas synonymous with Cognac, lending it a unique complexity.

It is then transferred to a first-fill red wine barrel, where it rests for an additional ten months, further enhancing its character and adding layers of sophistication. The specific cask used for this release is number 61695, bearing witness to the whisky's exceptional journey.

With each sip, you'll be treated to a symphony of flavors. The initial notes reveal a subtle influence of Cognac, with hints of dried fruits, warm spices, and a gentle sweetness. As the whisky unfolds on your palate, the red wine cask finish takes center stage, offering delightful nuances of red berries, oak, and a gentle tannic structure.

Akashi 6-Year White Oak Single Malt Whisky is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of the distillers at White Oak. Through their expertise, they have created a whisky that is both unique and memorable—a harmonious marriage of two distinct cask finishes.
