Akashi Goju 50 is a distinguished blended Japanese whisky meticulously crafted by Eigashima Shuzo in the city of Akashi, Japan. This exquisite blend is composed of wheat, rye, and malted barley, with a subtle peat influence of 10ppm.

After undergoing double distillation in copper pot stills, the whisky is matured for approximately 3 years in a mix of casks including new oak, ex-bourbon, and ex-shochu. It is then elegantly finished for about 2 years in ex-sherry casks, resulting in a non-age statement expression.

On the nose, Akashi Goju 50 offers enticing aromas of raisin, smoked sea salt, and vanilla pastry. The palate is a harmonious blend of assertive baking spice and well-integrated sherry, culminating in a finish characterized by flinty dark chocolate notes.

Bottled at a robust 50% ABV and non-chill filtered, Goju 50 is destined to be a classic. Its name, "Goju," translates to "fifty," reflecting its elevated alcohol content. With an average age of 5 years, this whisky gracefully dances between floral sweetness and dry salinity, underscored by a gentle smokiness.
