Akkeshi Single Malt Claude X Salud Friendship Cask – Limited Edition Japanese Whisky
Introduction and Overview
Salud Spirits, in collaboration with Claude Whisky, proudly presents the Akkeshi Single Malt Claude X Salud Friendship Cask—a limited edition release set to debut in Austria this March. Crafted at the renowned Akkeshi Distillery in northern Hokkaido and matured in a select sherry cask, this high-proof single malt at 58% ABV embodies exceptional Japanese whisky artistry and a longstanding partnership between two influential distributors.
Design, Maturation, and Tasting Notes
The bottle’s design is a collaborative creation that unites Salud Spirits’ corporate identity with a stylized depiction of the Claude Whisky shop’s stone wall, symbolizing enduring friendship. The whisky’s maturation in sherry casks imparts a balanced profile of smoky, fruity, and spicy notes.
- Nose: Creamy vanilla waffles, ripe citrus, and dark chocolate accented by a subtle salty sea breeze.
- Palate: A refreshing interplay of sweetness and acidity with juicy oranges and vibrant yellow and green citrus notes.
- Finish: Long and intense, featuring freshly ground pepper, salty soy sauce, bitter cocoa, and a delicate acidity for an exceptional aftertaste.
