AkashiRed Blended Japanese Whisky
R179
About
Akashi whisky is the only whisky in the world that is made by a Toji (grand-master in the art of sake making) by implementing sake-making methodologies into the whisky-making process. The distil pot used is smaller than those used by both Scottish and other Japanese distilleries, which in turn, decreases the levels of fusel alcohol. As a result, Akashi whisky does not require as long of an ageing process, while its core malt (cask strength) is smooth and delicate.

C'mon. It's Japanese whisky.
Not sold on that fact alone? No problem. We have a word count to hit and you have a whisky you're about to seriously want.
Akashi is the only whisky in the world made by a Toji (which, for the 2 or 3 of us that need reminding, is a grand-master in the art of sake making). No other whisky uses sake-making methodologies.
Granted that might not change much in your life, but it is an interesting thing to think about when you pour yourself a glass and take the first sip.
