This is a new release from the Eigashima (White Oak in English) distillery in Japan. The small craft distillery is one of Japan's oldest and the new whisky is released under their Akashi single malt brand. This is bottled from a single ex-sherry butt (Cask #5184) and at 8 years of age with a strength of 50% ABV. There are just 120 bottles and these will be available exclusively in Germany through Eigashima's distributors BSC (Bremer Spirituosen Contor). It is launched tomorrow (February 27) at The Village whisky festival in Nuremberg, Germany.
Distell, the owners of the Tobermory distillery on the isle of Mull, have announced the release of a vintage expression of their Ledaig smoky/peaty single malt. The limited edition whisky was distilled in 1996 and has been matured in ex-Oloroso sherry casks. It has been bottled at 20 years of age and at a strength of 46% ABV. It is also non chill filtered and of natural colour. A bottle will cost £120 and it will be available in the UK and selected world markets, plus through global travel retail.
“This wonderfully peated single malt from Tobermory reflects the rich past of what is one of the oldest commercial distilleries still in operation. It is exciting to announce the release of this fine, Hebridean whisky, which reinforces our commitment to our customers around the world to continue to produce innovative, quality single malts.”
Alison Gibb - Global Marketing Manager, Malts at Distell.
