Akashi Eigashima Shuzo Japanese Whisky (750 ml)

Akashi’s Blended Whiskey makes for an excellent introduction to the Japanese whisky category.

It's a lightly peated malt and grain blended whisky, crafted to be an approachable sipping whisky with a classic Japanese flavor profile. The blend of malt and grain whiskies are distilled from wheat, barley, and rye, and are aged in ex-bourbon, barley shochu, and sherry casks, as well as new oak barrels.

Akkeshi 'Keichitsu' season 'Life Awakens' Single Malt Japanese Whisky (700 ml)

  • Produced using sourced and locally grown Hokkaido barley, lightly peated

The 24 Japanese Sekki are days that divide the solar year into 24 equal micro seasons. Keichitsu, roughly translated to “life awakens,” starts in early March and is the season when the first new buds of spring begin to bloom. Evocative of the season’s first rays of soul-warming sunshine, this sprightly dram is as invigorating as those early spring days.

This single malt from Hokkaido's Akkeshi distillery displays all the beauty of winter citrus while abalnacin gits light aromas with the richness of Darjeeling tea, honey cakes, and umami. Aged in Hokkaido Mizunara barrels, ex bourbn, sherry, and red wine barrels.
