The Akashi Meïsei, presented in an elegant "Special Pack" with two Japanese-style glasses, is a distillate that encapsulates the essence and sophistication of the Akashi White Oak Distillery tradition. This Japanese whiskey, packaged in a 50cl bottle, is a spirit of exceptional balance and complexity.

Produced in the city of Akashi, close to the Sea of Japan and the mountainous region that provides very pure water, Meïsei (which means "famous" in Japanese) is distilled using traditional artisanal methods. The distillery uses small stills, which allows for very careful and personal distillation that is reflected in the quality of the final product.

This whiskey has a bright, inviting amber color. On the nose, it features notes of sweet malt, vanilla, and a faint trace of dried fruit, such as plums and raisins, which blend with nuances of light spices enriched by a touch of smoked wood - a clear reminiscence of its aging in American and Japanese white oak barrels.

On the palate, Meïsei is smooth yet vigorous, with a balanced structure that unfolds flavors of chocolate, caramel, and a hint of spices, all framed by a subtle yet persistent sweetness. The finish is long, warm, and enveloping, with an elegant return of the smoky and woody notes.

The pack includes two "Japanese style" glasses, designed to enhance the tasting experience of this exquisite whiskey through their unique design.

Ideal as a sophisticated gift or to be enjoyed in good company, Akashi Meïsei with its thematic glasses offers an authentically Japanese tasting experience, perfect for whiskey lovers seeking new and deeply traditional flavors.
