Whisky Wednesday Reviews Akashi 15yo – Japanese Whisky News
It’s not everyday that you get to try, as well as talk about one of the rarest Japanese whiskies in the world. One of only 795 bottles across the planet, Akashi 15yo is a combination of twelve and a half years in a former Pedro Ximinez cask and then being further transferred into a Konara cask (Same family as Mizunara/Japanese White Oak) – As a result of these huge flavors and made by a distillery who are most renowned for producing, Sake. This charming little pearl from the Far East is arguably one of the best whiskies that I’ve ever tried. Subtle and robust all at the same time, it sets your sense alight with ginger, sage, pork, slightly off sherry notes, white pepper and cedar wood. A truly mysterious and complex whisky from what is a relatively unknown distillery in the world of whisky. Cheers!
