Distillery Info
Located in the city of Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture, Eigashima has a long history of Sake and Shochu production which later included Blended whisky, yet it was only in 1984 when their White Oak distillery was established that they commenced single malt production. Blends make the bulk of their output to mixed reviews, with the Single Malt produced for only one month of the year. The later has has garnered serious interest and acclaim globally with highly revered releases such as the 14 year old and subsequent 15 year old, both at cask strength. With the increasing popularity of Japanese Whisky across the board, supplies of any expression from this distillery are hard to come by given the quantity they produce.
A limited release from the Eigashima distillery bottled under the name Akashi Red Blended Japanese Whisky. Eigashima Shuzo was founded in 1888 in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, and first acquired a whisky-making license in 1919.
