Japanese whisky and global distilling expertise brought to you by {name}

Clémence Viault

Founded in 1888 on the shores of the Seto interior sea in the city of Akashi, the Eigashima distillery is owned by Eigashima company, one of the oldest Sake producers (1679). In 1919, Eigashima was the first Japanese distillery to ever obtain its licence to produce whisky. Whisky consumption was entirely local until 1984. Built on the Scottish model, the distillery has been making sophisticated whiskies in small batches for more than 30 years. Apart from whiskies, Eigashima is also known for producing various types of liquors, namely sake and shochu. The company has even started to grow vines and makes its own wine. PREDOMINANT NOTES NOSE I Rich – smoky & almond PALATE I Well-balanced – peach & toffee HOW TO DRINK Drink neat, with ice or in a cocktail Akashi Blend is the main creation from the Eigashima distillery. This whisky contains 30% of malted barley and is aged 3 years in American oak casks. Rich and well-balanced, Akashi Blend won the gold medal at the 2016 International spirits ChallengeSmoky.

 Akashi Meisei is a special edition blended whiskey made by one of the oldest sake distiller in Japan. Meisei literally means "celebrity" is a star that is definitely born with its rich and deep notes of vanilla and oak. This blended whiskey is made up of a mixture of wheat and malt whiskey, of which a good part (45%) ages in American oak barrels. Established more than 100 years ago in Eigashima, the city of Akashi is the place chosen to build the White Oak Distillery which was the first in Japan to obtain the license to distill spirits in 1919, according to legend, it would therefore be the first in distilling whisky. Located in the city of Kobe and overlooking the picturesque Seto Inland Sea, it is the only distillery in Japan that is situated on the coast. Limited Units.

Akashi Blended Sherry Cask, is an initiation, for you to discover aging in Japan, in Sherry Cask barrels, being a blend made with 70% grain whiskey and 30% malted barley, distilled twice in two stills and aged in American oak ex-Sherry barrels between 3 and 4 years. A whiskey with sweet touches, with intense notes of spices and nuts. The Akashi distillery was founded in 1888 and produced only sake until 1984, when stills for whiskey production were added to the factory: these are used for one month of the year, so the quantities produced are always very small. Limited edition.
