This single malt is made from 100% malted barley, lightly peated and double distilled in copper pot stills, and the first-fill bourbon barrels give it a rich American oak character balanced by the distillery's maritime charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose come pecans, stewed strawberries, allspice and charred oak, with marzipan and a wisp of peat smoke. The palate brings clove, toasted black pepper and vanilla bean, with a touch of bourbon sweetness, grilled figs and cocoa powder. The finish offers honey-drizzled peaches, grilled figs and a hint of sea salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle carries Akashi's bold calligraphy on an orange label and comes in a kraft gift box.
