The AKASHI Takumi Sherry Cask Finish Japanese Blended Whisky comes from the traditional Eigashima Shuzo Distillery, one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Japan. The distillery is known for its precise craftsmanship, small production quantities and its unmistakable style, which combines Japanese elegance with a clear structure. For this bottling, a blended whisky is composed from its own malt whiskies and selected grain whiskies before being given an exclusive finish in sherry casks. This maturation gives the whisky additional depth, warm fruity notes and a fine, sweet and spicy complexity. Bottled at 40% vol., the Takumi Sherry Cask Finish is accessible, balanced and at the same time aromatically complex. The elegant gift box (GB) underlines the high-quality character of this Japanese bottling.
The combination of Japanese distillation craftsmanship and the influence of the sherry casks creates a whisky that is characterized by notes of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel and soft wood nuances. The distillery's small production volume ensures that each bottling receives special attention and bears a clear signature. This blended whisky is aimed at connoisseurs who appreciate the fine, harmonious structures of Japanese whisky art and the fruity depth of a sherry cask finish.
