Akashi Japanese Single Malt Sherry Cask Whisky

Founded in 1888 on the shores of the Seto Inland Sea in the city of Akashi, the Eigashi- ma Distillery is owned by the Eigashima Company, one of the oldest sake producers (1679). In 1919, Eigashima was the first Japa– nese distillery to be licensed to produce whis- key. Whiskey consumption was entirely local until 1984. Built on the Scottish model, the distillery has been making sophisticated whiskeys in small batches for more than 30 years. Besides whiskeys, Eigashima is also known for producing various types of liqueu- rs such as sake and shochu. The company has even started growing vines and making its own wine.
