Description
Akashi Whisky is unique in the world because it is the only whisky produced under the supervision of a toji, a grand master of sake making. This remarkable approach weaves traditional techniques of sake production into the whisky-making process, giving Akashi Whisky an unrivalled depth and complexity.
Akashi Japanese Blended Whisky represents an outstanding representative of classic Japanese whisky art, carefully crafted from 30% malted barley and 70% grain. This blend undergoes a maturation process of at least five years. The first three years of maturation take place in hogsheads, traditional casks that initially provide a solid foundation of robust, malty notes. The whisky then spends a further two years in American white oak casks.
Akashi Japanese Blended Whisky is therefore an excellent choice for anyone looking for a finely balanced whisky with a complex flavour that masterfully combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern distillation methods.
