Akashi Single Malt Bourbon Finish 7 year 750 ML

Akashi Single Malt Bourbon Finish is a 7-year-old Japanese whisky from the White Oak Distillery, one of Japan's smaller and oldest licensed whisky producers, finished in ex-bourbon casks after primary aging. That finishing step layers vanilla, caramel, and oak from the American cask onto Akashi's own house spirit character, built on a lighter, more delicate distillation style typical of Japanese single malts compared to bolder Scotch. Expect vanilla and caramel up front with a smooth, gentle sweetness and a clean, oak-driven finish. It's a good entry point for someone new to Japanese whisky who wants a familiar bourbon-cask profile with a different distillation pedigree behind it.

How to drink Akashi Bourbon Finish 7 Year

Sip it neat in a tulip glass to catch the vanilla and caramel the bourbon cask finish adds. A single ice cube works too if you want it cooler without losing the sweetness.
