Finished in Andalusian Sherry Casks
Produced at the historic Eigashima Shuzo’s White Oak Distillery, the Akashi Blended Sherry Cask combines Japanese precision with European cask influence. The whisky is matured in American oak before receiving a finishing period in ex-sherry casks from Spain, adding depth, dried fruit sweetness, and gentle spice to the spirit. The blend reportedly contains approximately 30% malt whisky and 70% grain whisky, creating an approachable yet flavourful dram.
Rich and Layered Tasting Experience
- Nose: Vanilla, apricot, dried fruits, honey, caramel, and subtle oak spice
- Palate: Smooth and fruity with raisins, toffee, berries, almond, and warming sherried sweetness
- Finish: Gentle spice, lingering fruit sweetness, soft oak, and nutty warmth
This is an exceptionally easy-drinking Japanese whisky with enough sherry influence to satisfy lovers of sweeter, fruit-led drams while remaining elegant and approachable for newcomers to Japanese whisky.
Designed for the Discerning Traveller
