Akashi Sunset on Third Street Aged 3 Years Old

Discover the nostalgic world of this single malt Japanese whisky Akashi Sunset on Third Street Aged 3 Years Old. Since the launch of “Big Comic Original” in 1974, Nishigishi Ryohei’s “Sunset on Third Street”, a long running comic has been serialized and adapted into a popular live-action film.

A single malt from “Sunset on Third Street” with the label “Akashi” will be made available to celebrate the Big Comic Original’s 50th anniversary of debut. Hideo Yamaoka selected “Akashi” from Eigashima Distillery in Hyogo Prefecture as the whisky that would work well for the “Sunset on Third Street” label this time.

After the pot stills of the Eigashima Distillery were replaced in 2019, the distillation was carried out using Tronçais aged barrels from the Tronçais Forest in central France, which is renowned for its superior French oak. The alcohol strength is 63% and it is matured for three years in these barrels before bottling.

Rich and powerful, the aroma is reminiscent of the floor of an old cellar and the bark of enormous trees. Dates and dried persimmon combine to create an elegant scent that you will want to inhale all day. The flavor is savory and spicy, with notes of toasted barrel wood, smoky grains, and a rich, warming aftertaste. A little more brightness in impression is created by adding water. To mature the best wines, Tronçais oak is utilized. Unexpectedly for a 3-year-old, this malt is vibrant and strong.
