Akashi 3 Year Old Bourbon Cask - Ghost Series #18

The Akashi 3 Years Old Heavily Peated 50ppm is the 18th release in the Ghost series. This exceptional expression showcases Akashi's expertise in crafting peated whiskies, delivering a captivating and distinctive flavor profile.

To create this remarkable whisky, it was laid down to mature for three years in two first-fill bourbon casks, specifically casks 101857 and 101858. These carefully selected casks have imparted their unique characteristics and flavors to the spirit, resulting in a harmonious marriage of peat and bourbon influences.

Bottled at a strength of 62% ABV, this whisky is presented in its natural form, free from chill filtration and artificial coloring. This ensures that the full depth and intensity of the flavors and aromas are preserved, allowing the whisky to express itself authentically.

The label of this edition features Yoshitoshi's famous artwork titled "The Ghost of Wicked Genta Yoshihira Attacking Namba Jiro at Nunobiki Waterfall", adding a touch of artistry and storytelling to the experience. This artwork, combined with the exceptional whisky within, creates a truly captivating and immersive journey for the senses.

With only 631 bottles produced, this Akashi 3 Years Old Heavily Peated release is a rare gem that represents the pinnacle of Akashi's craftsmanship. Distilled in 2018 and bottled in 2022, each bottle encapsulates a moment in time, allowing whisky enthusiasts and collectors to savour a unique and limited edition expression.
