A blended Japanese whisky produced by the Eigashima Distillery, found close to the shoreline of Japan's inland sea. This whisky, a blend of grain and malt spirit, contains some spirit distilled in Akashi's extremely small pot still. The dram has been matured for at least 3 years in former Shōchū casks, giving it a uniquely Japanese profile.

More Details

There is a huge demand for Japanese whisky and this has seen some interesting new entrants to the market. One of those is Akashi which interestingly claims to be the only Japanese whisky distilled by a Toji (a grand-master in the art of sake making.)

White Oak is their flagship blended whisky. It has been the subject of some controversy as in Japan, it is made with single malt and molasses spirit. This would mean it not being classed as whisky in other parts of the world, so this export version is a blend of malt and grain whiskies.

It has been matured for three years in a Japanese Shochu cask made of American oak. While whisky matures faster in Japan, White Oak still carries a youthful tang, but it also offers a smooth and sweet malty whisky with hints of smokiness and a complex spicy finish. Maturation so close to the sea imparts a subtle salinity to Akashi's whiskies.

An excellent entry level Japanese whisky that will definitely leave you wanting to sample more.

Not your standard Japanese whisky

Loved the slightly spiciness of the taste that still retains its overall smoothness.
