Akashi 5 Years Old is a Japanese single malt whisky bottled at 50% ABV, made at the White Oak distillery in the town of Akashi, which is owned by the Eigashima Company. It was aged in an American oak cask that previously held Kijoshu, a concentrated, sweet style of sake. The nose offers walnut and vanilla with a hint of peat. The palate shows bittersweet orange and chocolate-covered banana, and the finish dries with black tea and leather.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
