Akashi Japanese Blended Sherry Cask GIFTPACK w/glass 50cl

Akashi Sherry Cask Finish Japanese Blended Whisky | 50cl

A Decadent Fusion: Coastal Harmony Meets Rich Spanish Oak

Akashi Sherry Cask Finish is a sumptuous evolution of the classic Eigashima (White Oak) distillery style. This expression takes the distillery's signature "harmonious blend" and subjects it to a secondary maturation in Sherry casks. This finish elevates the spirit, infusing the light, coastal malt with a "smooth sweetness" and a deep mahogany hue.

Produced at the historic Eigashima distillery in Akashi—the first in Japan to be granted a whisky license—this spirit reflects a century of expertise. The Sherry cask influence transforms the vibrant grain and malt base into a dessert-like experience, making it a "perfect addition to any whisky collection" and an exceptional choice for those who enjoy a richer, fruitier profile in their Japanese whisky.

Key Features and Sherry Influence

Sherry Cask Finishing: The secondary maturation in Sherry wood adds characterful layers of dark fruits and nutty complexity that aren't found in the standard Akashi range.
Exclusive Gift Set: This 50cl bottle is presented in an "exclusive gift set" that comes complete with 2 glasses, making it a perfect, ready-to-share gift for connoisseurs.
Maritime Terroir: The sea air of the Akashi coastline subtly interacts with the sweet Sherry influence, providing a balanced and unique flavor profile.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and festive. Deep aromas of raisins and figs are beautifully balanced by creamy vanilla and buttery caramel.
- Palate: Full-bodied and decadent. A burst of dark fruits—raisins, prunes, and dates—is supported by a distinct nutty character, with underlying notes of toffee and sweet oak spice.
- Finish: Long and indulgent. A lingering sweetness of dried fruit persists, rounded off by a subtle, warming spice.

Serving Suggestions

Neat in the Included Glass: The best way to appreciate the Sherry influence. Use the provided glasses to allow the "sweet-oak spice" and dried fruit aromas to concentrate.
A "Sherried" Highball: For a richer twist on the classic serve, mix with sparkling water and garnish with a piece of orange peel to complement the dark fruit notes.
The After-Dinner Sip: Pair this whisky with dark chocolate, Christmas pudding, or aged blue cheese to highlight the raisin and toffee profile.
Slightly Chilled: A single small ice cube can help temper the "subtle spice" and emphasize the smooth, jammy notes of the prunes and dates.
