Akashi Whisky

Eigashima Distillery, located in the town of Agashi, just a stone's throw away from Kobe Bay, absorbed the purity of the water, earth and sky of this magical land. Here, a couple of feet from the ocean, the owner's family have been making Spirits for centuries. Eigashima Shuzo also holds Japan’s first Whisky license, issued all the way back in 1919, but to this day remains one of the country's smallest Whisky producers.

Agashi Whisky is something special. The current copper pot stills were pressed into service a couple of decades ago, and that's when focus on premium Whiskies began. Since this is the closest Whisky distillery to the coast, the ocean-laden air is reflected in the Whisky's savory, saline driven purity. The impact of the local climate makes it a unique atmosphere to mature Whisky, with huge temperature differences between seasons. Nothing is left to chance. The distillery dedicates its whole meticulous production process to make the smoothest, most sippable Spirit possible. Worthy of its name and tradition.
Akashi Blended Whisky is a thoroughly enjoyable blend, aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, with perfect balance and character. Due to the limited output of the distillery, this is a terribly rare and exclusive bottle that represents everything we love about Japanese Whisky. Precision, craftsmanship, and tradition. The magic is real.
Akashi is produced in Eigashima Shuzo. Some of the most popular expressions of Akashi include: White Oak Blended. Flavour profile typically features notes of vanilla, caramel, cherry and toffee.
