"This non-age-stated expression sees Akashi's roughly three year old blended whisky aged for a further two years in sherry casks and bottled at 50 percent ABV, which is 20 proof points higher than that standard blend. Sherry influence drives its profile from nose to finish, in the form of savory, oxidative notes. Those arrive with notable intensity thanks to the ABV, which also elongates its dry, nutty finish."
