Akashi Single Malt 5 Year Sherry Cask Whisky

Richly complex and deeply expressive, Akashi Single Malt 5 Year Sherry Cask Whisky is a standout release from Eigashima Shuzo, Japan’s oldest licensed whisky distillery. Crafted from 100% lightly peated malted barley and distilled in copper pot stills, this elegant single malt is aged entirely in ex-Pedro Ximénez casks before receiving a final finish in Oloroso sherry casks melding two classic sherry styles into one unforgettable pour. Bottled at 50% ABV, this non-chill filtered whisky bursts with character. Expect a seductive nose of black cherries, dried apricot, and walnut skin. The palate opens with salted caramel, fig, and golden waffles, before settling into rich bittersweet chocolate and gentle salinity on the finish. With its 5-year age statement and meticulous cask influence, this limited annual release is a dream for sherry cask lovers and collectors alike. A true sipping whisky that rewards your attention while it lasts.
