Eigashima Shuzo Akashi Whisky

The Eigashima Shuzo Akashi Whisky is the core NAS blended whisky from the Akashi distillery in Hyogo, bottled at 40% for global distribution. Eigashima holds Japan's oldest whisky licence, issued in 1919, and has been producing single malt since the 1980s, giving it one of the longer track records in the Japanese whisky landscape.

Matured in Ex-Bourbon casks, the expression leans into the clean, lightly sweet and softly coastal character that defines the Eigashima house style. Entry-level blends at this house can include sourced or blended-in spirit alongside distillery stock, so the exact makeup is not specified. No specific flavour notes were recorded, but the Ex-Bourbon profile points to vanilla, gentle orchard fruit and cereal notes in a smooth, approachable format.
