Volume：500ml
ABV：50%

Having just clinched a prestigious Gold Medal at the TWSC 2025 (Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition), this exceptional single malt has firmly proven its world-class caliber. Crafted from medium-heavy peated malt rated at 50ppm, the spirit was matured for five full years in premium Oloroso Sherry Casks and bottled at a robust 50% ABV. This combination of high-ppm peat and luscious sherry, limited to only 2,870 bottles globally, makes it a highly coveted release for collectors and peat enthusiasts alike.

On the nose, it opens with a bracing, vivid smoke, followed by a coastal, maritime brininess reminiscent of bonito flakes (Katsuobushi), intertwined with fresh citrus peel. The palate introduces a sophisticated smoky profile layered with black tea, offering a comforting harmony of gentle smoke and dark-honey sweetness. Mid-palate, notes of salted dark chocolate emerge, weaving elegantly between rich wood character and dried-fruit sherry sweetness. The journey concludes with a crisp, maritime smoke finish.

While Akashi is a household name among whisky lovers, Kasuku (meaning "Cask") represents Eigashima Distillery’s brand-new, ultra-premium single malt lineup. Designed to maximize the expression and individuality of the wood, the series debuted with this 5-year expression alongside a 15-year vintage, sparking excitement for future aged releases from the distillery's cellars.
