Aikan means "marriage" in Arawak, the language of the first Amerindians who populated Martinique. In the case of this whisky, the marriage is celebrated between two continents, two climates (temperate in Europe, tropical in the Caribbean), and two exceptional universes, that of rum and whisky. After all, whisky and rum are similar in many ways: like its malty cousin, rum has in its vocabulary terms and processes such as column or still distillation, fermentation and yeast, blend, single cask, and vintage.
In short, it is from this extraordinary and unusual union that the subtle and singular character of Aikan arises.
Moreover, the reduction of Aikan Whisky is achieved thanks to spring water that flows from the bowels of Mount Pelée, a dormant volcano in Martinique. This pure, mineral-rich water contributes to the exceptional quality of Aikan Whisky.
Aikan Extra Collection is the ideal whisky for lovers of very aged rums and woody whiskies with a dry finish, a true alternative to traditional whiskies aged in sherry casks.
It is distilled in Scotland where it is aged for three years before continuing its maturation in a Martinican, tropical-climate cellar for two to four years. Essentially hors d'âge agricultural rhum casks, bourbon barrels and new casks made especially for Aikan by the best French coopers are used.
