Akashi Red Label Blended Whisky: A Symphony of Japanese Craftsmanship

Embracing Honesty: The Essence of Akashi Red Label

Guided by the motto “With Honesty,” Eigashima’s ninth-generation leader, Mr. Hiraishi, upholds uncompromising standards for every drop of Akashi Red Label Blended Whisky. A testament to this commitment, this exquisite whisky undergoes a meticulous aging process that involves American White Oak Shochu casks for 2 years, ex-bourbon casks, and a final touch in ex-sherry casks for 1 year.

Discovering Tradition at Eigashima Shuzo Distillery

Immerse yourself in a legacy that spans centuries as you explore the essence of Eigashima Shuzo, one of Japan’s oldest family-run distilleries with a remarkable 100 years of whisky-making expertise. Established in 1679, this distinguished distillery, once ranked among the top 100 corporations during the Meiji era, is a living testament to Japanese craftsmanship.
