Akashi 5 Year Old Bourbon Cask Single Malt

Discover the distinct character of Akashi Single Malt 5 Year Old Bourbon Cask, a testament to the finesse of Japanese whisky making. With a 46% alcohol content, this elegant whisky hails from the renowned Eigashima Distillery, a bastion of brewing tradition and innovation.

Rooted in over a century of history, Eigashima, primarily known for its exquisite sake and shochu, ventured into the world of whisky in 1984 under the White Oak label. It was in 2007 when the distillery expanded its repertoire to include single malts, marking a new chapter in its storied legacy.

What sets Eigashima's whisky apart is its unique production schedule. Whisky making is confined to just one month each year, reflecting a dedication to quality over quantity. During this brief but intense period, the distillery imports select barley and malts from Scotland, marrying them with the same pure water that forms the essence of their sake and shochu. This synergy of Scottish ingredients and Japanese craftsmanship creates a whisky that is both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition.

The Akashi Single Malt 5 Year Old Bourbon Cask, matured for five years in bourbon barrels, is a reflection of this legacy. It boasts an unadulterated profile, with no color added and non-chill filtered, ensuring an authentic and natural experience. The tasting journey begins with a nose of fresh light peat and vanilla, followed by a luscious palate, and culminates in a long finish characterized by sweet spices and a hint of salt.

Immerse yourself in the captivating flavors of Akashi. This limited-edition release is not just a drink, but a celebration of the meticulous artistry and unwavering dedication of Eigashima's master distillers. Each sip invites you into a world where expertise and passion converge, offering a whisky experience that is both unique and unforgettable.
