This special Akashi single malt is aged for seven years exclusively in first fill ex-bourbon barrels and is the oldest we have seen state side from this small but mighty distillery. A rich nose full of marzipan, pecans, and peat smoke, layers wonderfully with its weighty palate. The flavor is packed with grilled figs, clove, vanilla cream, cocoa powder, and sea salt. The Akashi Single Malt 7yr Bourbon Barrel is sure to be a watermark for the distillery in years to come.
