Akashi Eigashima 2013 Japanese Red Wine Cask 8 Years Whisky - KINKO Limited Edition

Discover Eigashima 2013 "Akashi Renewal" Japanese Red Wine Cask 8 Years Whisky, a limited edition masterpiece that beautifully marries the world of whisky and wine.

This whisky journey began with a love for Scotch and the enchanting pairing of fine wines, such as Bordeaux's Grand Crus and Sauternes, with whisky. The memorable Bowmore aged in Chateau Lagrange casks, a claret, left an indelible mark on the palate, sparking a dream of releasing a whisky aged in wine barrels as an original bottling.

The pursuit led to the discovery of special casks at Eigashima Sake Brewery, where they were aged for three years in bourbon hogsheads and then transferred to first-fill Japanese red wine barrels for an additional year. Over the years, these barrels transformed, evolving into a whisky that beautifully showcased the essence of a Japanese red wine cask. In the autumn of 2022, after nearly nine years of aging, the dream was realized, and this exceptional whisky was bottled.

Experience the captivating aroma of juicy plum, hot blueberry tea, and malt crackers dipped in honey. The taste is a delightful mix of oaky notes, grape jam with skin, juicy oak spices, and hints of bitterness. The finish leaves you with lingering clove, oak & malt, and herbal notes.

This 8-year-old cask, aged for over five years in Japanese red wine casks, represents a harmonious blend of Japanese whisky and Japanese wine. As the world takes notice of Japanese wines, this unique combination is not only a delight but a testament to Japanese craftsmanship.
