Eigashima Kikou 7 Year Old 2011 ex-Port Ellen Cask

Discover a meeting of Japanese finesse and Islay heritage with Eigashima 7 Year Old – 2011 “Kikou,” ex-Port Ellen Cask #11055. Distilled at the coastal White Oak distillery in Akashi and laid to rest in a single hogshead that previously held whisky from the legendary (and long-silent) Port Ellen, this unique expression was bottled in 2018 to celebrate dekantā’s 3rd Anniversary. Only 300 individually numbered bottles were released at 58 % ABV, non-chill-filtered and natural in colour. The result is a rare fusion: Elegantly fruity Japanese malt imbued with the subtle maritime smoke and polished oak of a revered Islay cask.
