Akashi 5 Years Bourbon Barrel Whisky

Japanese Elegance with a Bourbon Twist

Akashi 5 Year Old Bourbon Barrel Whisky is a beautifully crafted Japanese whisky aged exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels. This limited-edition expression from the White Oak Distillery delivers a harmonious blend of delicate Japanese craftsmanship and bold bourbon influences, resulting in a smooth, well-rounded whisky with a warm, oaky character.

Matured for five years in carefully selected bourbon barrels, Akashi 5 Year Old showcases the distillery’s meticulous approach to aging and blending. The nose greets you with inviting aromas of vanilla, toasted coconut, and caramelized oak. On the palate, expect a rich fusion of sweet vanilla, creamy toffee, and hints of ripe orchard fruits, all layered with soft spices and a touch of honey. The finish is gentle yet persistent, leaving a trail of bourbon warmth and light oak tannins. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, this whisky offers a sophisticated sip that bridges the gap between traditional Japanese subtlety and classic bourbon richness.
