The journey of this Akashi malt begins with a three-year maturation in American oak barrels, a process that instills the whisky with the classic, deep flavors and smooth character associated with American oak. This foundational aging sets the stage for a unique final year, where the whisky is transferred to Calvados barrels.
The Calvados cask finish is where the magic truly happens. Calvados, a renowned apple brandy from the Normandy region in France, imparts an extraordinary layer of complexity and fruitiness to the whisky. This final year in Calvados barrels imbues the spirit with a unique profile, blending the robustness of malt whisky with the subtle, apple-laden nuances of Calvados.
Bottled at an impressive 63% cask strength, this Akashi whisky offers a rich and unfiltered tasting experience. The high strength ensures that the bold flavors and character of the whisky are presented in their most vibrant form, allowing connoisseurs to appreciate the full depth of its character.
The Akashi Calvados Cask Finish Cask Strength is a rare find, with fewer than 350 bottles produced. This limited production not only reflects its exclusivity but also makes each bottle a coveted collectible for whisky enthusiasts.
Indulge in the unique fusion of Japanese whisky mastery and French brandy elegance with this Akashi release. The Calvados cask finish brings a delightful twist to the traditional whisky profile, creating a spirit that is both innovative and deeply rooted in quality. A must-try for those who seek to explore the diverse and exquisite world of cask-finished whiskies
