eigashima white oak sakura 5 years cask 61391 single cask malt whisky Bourbon with a light smoky noteThis single malt whisky is something very special, as only a very small number of bottles were produced from this single cask bottling. It was aged for the first 3. 5 years in European oak barrels and ex shochu, before being further aged for 1. 5 years in red wine barrels. After five years, it was bottled in 2015 in the Eigashima style 0. 5 liter bottle at 58% alcohol.
