The Akashi Red Wine Cask 5 Year Old Japanese Single Malt Whisky is a distinguished expression from Eigashima Shuzo, one of Japan’s oldest whisky distilleries. Known for its small-scale, artisanal production, this limited-edition release is a testament to the distillery’s dedication to quality and tradition. Each bottle embodies the meticulous craftsmanship and innovative spirit that define Japanese whisky-making.

Matured for five years in carefully selected red wine casks, this single malt develops a rich and distinctive character. The influence of the wine casks imparts layers of ripe berries, dark cherries, and stewed plums, harmoniously balanced with notes of oak spice, vanilla, and a gentle tannic dryness. Hints of milk chocolate, toasted almonds, and a touch of leather add depth, making every sip a complex and evolving experience.

Bottled at a robust 50.0% ABV, this whisky delivers intensity and depth while maintaining an elegant smoothness. The palate unfolds with a silky texture, revealing a well-balanced interplay of sweet red fruit, warming spices, and a delicate oaky finish. A lingering touch of spice and dark chocolate ensures a memorable and satisfying conclusion.

With its limited availability and unique aging process, the Akashi Red Wine Cask 5 Year Old is highly sought after by whisky connoisseurs. Its exclusivity, combined with its refined complexity, makes it an essential addition to any fine whisky collection — an exceptional choice for those who appreciate both tradition and innovation in Japanese whisky.
