Akashi Yuzu Whisky Highball 4pk

AKASHI YUZU JAPANESE WHISKY HIGHBALL

7% ABV

The first ready-to-drink Japanese highball from Eigashima Shuzo’s Akashi Whisky. The distillery’s Akashi Whisky is made by its family’s ninth generation of operators who employ centuries old traditions and techniques. Their blended malt and grain whisky is amplified by fresh yuzu (Japanese citrus) in a citrus-forward take on the classic highball. Canned at 7% ABV, this crushable highball is packed full of flavor and is built for sessionability.

TASTING NOTES
Bubbly and bright, it is bursting with aromas of yuzu zest that marry beautifully with the maltiness of Akashi’s blended whisky. This is pure refreshment in a canned cocktail
