The Akashi BLUE Label Whisky comes from the traditional Eigashima Shuzo Distillery, one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Japan, located in the Hyogo region near Kobe. Akashi Whisky enjoys an excellent reputation among connoisseurs as an accessible introduction to the world of Japanese whisky - and the BLUE label stands out thanks to its particularly harmonious cask maturation and elegant balance. With an alcohol content of 40% vol., this bottling is aimed at connoisseurs looking for a mild yet characterful whisky with an Asian flavour.

The Akashi BLUE Label is matured in a combination of American oak casks and wine barrels, giving it a fruity, smooth flavour with a fine vanilla note and subtle wood tones. It is produced in the Scottish style, but under Japanese climatic conditions - which gives it a fine lightness and balanced depth. Presented in a stylish gift box, it makes an excellent gift or introduction to the world of Far Eastern whisky culture.

Tasting Note

Colour: Light gold with a copper shimmer.

Nose: Mild and pleasantly fruity with notes of green apple, vanilla, honey and a hint of oak.

The Akashi BLUE Label Japanese Whisky is perfect for enjoying neat or with a few drops of water, but also works equally well in fine highball variations with soda. It is an excellent culinary accompaniment to sushi-based starters, teriyaki dishes, mild cheese or white chocolate with green tea. Due to its mild nature and fine structure, it is particularly popular with whisky beginners and lovers of subtle, Japanese whiskies with a stylish presentation.
