Akashi Single Cask 10 years old Sherry Butt
Single Cask - 55,6% - 50 cl
Akashi Single Cask 10 Year Old Sherry Butt is an exceptional spirit produced by Eigashima Shuzo founded in 1888 in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, which produces a variety of spirits such as whisky, brandy and shochu at its distillery, formerly named White Oak.
Read moreDistilled in 2012 from very lightly peated barley (10ppm), this whisky is the result of 10 years of aging in a sherry oloroso butt number 5185, which is among the largest types of casks used for aging whisky, with a capacity of up to 500 liters. They are made from European oak and offer a larger contact surface between the wood and the whisky, which allows a faster maturation and a more intense impregnation.
The nose is both sweet and powerful with deep notes of raisins, caramel and toasted nuts with a subtle touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is complex and balanced, offering an explosion of dark chocolate, dried fruit, tannin and sherry flavors that blend perfectly with a discreet touch of toasted oak smoke. The finish is persistent, slightly smoky and spicy, with a touch of honey and cinnamon. Unchill-filtered and uncolored, Akashi Single Cask 10 Year Old Sherry Oloroso Butt is presented as it was when it left the cask, allowing it to retain a smoother texture as well as all the flavors and aromas inherited during aging.
This limited edition is composed of only 680 individually numbered bottles, making it a rare and exclusive product that will delight whisky lovers looking for a unique and refined tasting experience.

The brand Akashi
Created in 2007 by Mikio Hiraishi, the Akashi brand is declined in numerous bottlings such as single casks, single malts or blends whose quality is now widely recognized and appreciated throughout the world.
Mikio Hiraishi's creativity can be seen in each Akashi whisky with the use of a wide variety of casks for aging, from traditional bourbon and sherry casks to red and white wine casks from Yamanashi, or even sake casks used for the maturation of the Akashi Saké Cask single malt.
