Akashi 8yo for Germany
Post by Stefan Van Eycken, Tokyo
Something special for our readers in Germany, or those who live close enough to make the trek to Nurnberg. The European distributor for Eigashima (White Oak Distillery), Les Whiskies du Monde, will be making its entire allocation of a recent Akashi single cask available exclusively to visitors to The Village Whisk(e)y-Messe Nurnberg (27-28 February 2016).
It’s an 8yo – which is the oldest stock available in the warehouses there – drawn from an “old sherry butt” (#5184), bottled non-coloured and non-chillfiltered at 50%abv. It was released in Japan towards the end of last year and the 120 bottles (of the total outturn of 900) destined for Europe are all going to the Whisk(e)-Messe in Nurnberg. Still a few weeks to plan a little weekend trip…
