AKASHI WHISKEY SINGLE MALT SAKE CASK JAPAN 5YR 750ML

Akashi Single Malt Sake Cask is a distinctive Japanese whiskey, aged for 5 years in casks that previously held sake, Japan’s beloved rice wine. This unique aging process imparts a rich, smooth profile with hints of rice sweetness and a subtle umami finish, making it a must-try for whiskey enthusiasts who appreciate craftsmanship and innovation.

• Taste: On the palate, the whiskey is silky smooth and well-balanced. The unique influence of the sake cask adds a soft, rice sweetness with flavors of melon, honey, and subtle fruitiness. A touch of oak and spices provide depth and complexity, while the smooth texture makes it very approachable.
• Finish: The finish is clean, leaving a lingering soft sweetness and light floral undertones, with a slightly dry and umami-rich aftertaste that’s characteristic of the sake cask influence.
