Akashi Japanese Single Malt Whisky

Colour

Golden amber with coppery highlights and a warm, sun-kissed honey glow.

Nose

Delicate peat lifts creamy vanilla and honeyed barley, unveiling orchard fruit and citrus zest. Toasted almond and gentle spice deepen the aroma, while a whisper of smoke and a touch of sea air hint at its three-cask maturation.

Palate

On the palate, this Akashi greets with a gentle peat smoke and a creamy, satin texture. Vanilla, honey and toffee mingle with oak-driven spice from three cask types, while unfolding whispers of orchard fruit and dried fruit notes. The finish is long and refined, with a soft smoke, subtle tannin, and a warm sweetness that echoes the layered, elegant complexity of this flagship malt.

Finish

Silky and long, with a gentle peat kiss that fades into vanilla-drenched sweetness, then dried fruit and spice. Oak warmth lingers, wrapping the palate in cocoa and a final note of citrus zest as the finish slowly exhales.
