Akashi Blended Sherry Cask Finish comes from the Eigashima (White Oak) distillery in Hyogo, Japan. It combines 30% malt whisky from Akashi with grain whisky and is aged in American oak before being finished for six months in Andalusian sherry casks. The result is a well-balanced, elegant blend that marries Japanese spirit with rich European influence.
On the nose, this whisky delivers notes of dried apricot, orange zest, and vanilla, giving way to a smooth, mellow palate of spicy wood, prunes, raisins, and nutty depth. The finish is long and harmonious, with vinous sherry sweetness and soft oak spice.
Taste
Nose: Vanilla, dried apricot, and zesty orange peel, with honeyed warmth and gentle oak.
Palate: A soft, mellow texture with dried fruits (prune, raisin), warm spice, nutty character, a touch of toffee, and wood influence.
Finish: Elegant and lingering, with a vinous sherry sweetness, subtle oak, and a hint of spice.
Drinking
This whisky is best enjoyed neat so you can appreciate its subtle fruit and spice layers. A splash of water slightly softens the sherry notes and brings forward the dried fruit. It’s also gentle enough to serve over a large ice cube without overpowering its character.
About
Eigashima Shuzo (White Oak) distillery in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, is the producer behind this blend. The whisky is composed approximately of 30% malt distilled on-site and 70% imported grain whisky. After three years in American oak, it is finished for six months in sherry casks, giving it that sweet, vinous dimension. (Based on producer and retailer descriptions.)
Notable Attributes: No age statement, 40% ABV, 30% malt, finished in sherry casks.
Why Buy It: This is a great choice for both whisky newcomers and experienced drinkers who want a smooth, fruit-forward Japanese blend with a sherry-cask twist. It’s affordable, characterful, and more complex than many entry-level whiskies.
