Akashi - 6 Year Old Single Malt Whisky - Cognac and Red Wine Cask Finish

From the historic White Oak Distillery in Hyogo, Japan, comes an exceptional and limited single malt release that exemplifies the distillery’s commitment to precision and craftsmanship: Akashi 6-Year Single Malt, finished in Cognac and red wine casks.

This meticulously aged expression spent five years maturing in ex-Cognac casks, developing a rich and complex character, before being transferred to a first-fill red wine barrel (Cask #61695) for an additional 10 months. The result is a sophisticated and well-structured whisky that elegantly marries fruit-forward notes with depth and finesse.

On the nose, expect inviting aromas of dried fig, toasted oak, and warm spice, underpinned by delicate Cognac richness. The palate offers a refined balance of red berries, vanilla, and dark chocolate, with hints of grape skin and gentle tannins from the red wine cask, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.

Bottled at 50% ABV and released in limited quantities, this japanese whisky is a testament to White Oak’s innovative cask management and blending expertise. A must-have for connoisseurs and collectors seeking a distinctive Japanese single malt with a unique cask influence.
