Whisky Akashi Blended Sherry Cask Finish

Akashi Blended Sherry Cask Finish is a blend of grain whiskeys from multiple sources and 30% malt whiskeys distilled in Eigashima, Japan, all whiskeys have been aged in American oak barrels for at least three years, then matured for 6 months in sherry barrels, the famous Andalusian wine barrels. This blend has a rich, gourmet profile, expressing hints of vanilla, dried apricot and orange peel on the nose. On the palate, the soft, smooth texture is accompanied by spicy, woody aromas and hints of dried fruit typical of whiskeys matured in sherry casks. This complementary maturation is felt in the very long and elegant finish where the woody notes coexist with the vinous notes of the sherry.
