Description

• Blended Japanese whisky produced by Eigashima Shuzo in Akashi, Japan
• A blend of grain and lightly peated malt whiskies distilled from wheat, barley, and rye
• Aged in ex-bourbon, barley shochu, and sherry casks as well as new oak barrels; non-age statement
• A slightly fruity nose hints of lemon, cherry, toffee, oats, and sea air; flavors of vanilla and pine nuts delight on the palate, leading to a long, wheat-forward finish with a touch of peat
• 40% ABV

Akashi’s blended whisky is an excellent introduction to the Japanese whisky category and an inviting segue to or from Scotch.
