Akashi Single Malt 46% embodies the elegance and precision of Japanese whisky, combining artisanal tradition with meticulous attention to detail. Produced in small batches, this single malt offers a distinctive personality driven by a rich and perfectly controlled aromatic structure.

Blending and production

This whisky is made exclusively from malted barley, carefully distilled using traditional pot stills. Maturation takes place in selected oak casks, chosen for their ability to bring roundness, depth and aromatic complexity. Bottled at 46%, it preserves the full intensity of its aromas without excessive filtration, delivering an authentic and generous expression.
