Akashi Red Label Blended Whisky

Akashi Red Label Blended Whisky is produced by Eigashima Shuzo, established in 1679, which became the first distillery in Japan to obtain a whisky blending and distilling license in 1919. A highly approachable blend combining approximately 20% to 30% house-distilled lightly-peated malted barley with premium grain spirits. Undergoes an unconventional multi-cask maturation framework, aging for 2 years in traditional ex-bourbon barrels and seasoned American White Oak Shochu casks, followed by a final 1-year finishing period in seasoned ex-sherry casks. Bottled at 40% ABV in 500ml size. Features bright amber appearance.
