Akashi Sommelier Series Wine Cask Matured Single Malt Japanese Whisky

One of their more recent creations is the Akashi Sommelier Series Matured Single Malt Whisky, an innovative expression that blends together a wide variety of flavor into one bottle. Made exclusively from malted barley, the whisky is aged in a combination of various casks including bourbon, sherry, brandy, wine, shochu, and new American oak before being finished in used non-vintage Pinot Noir casks. This imparts the whisky with a sweet, fruity, and somewhat spicy flavor profile that is both interesting and approachable.
