White Oak Akashi Japanese Whisky 500ml

Akashi whisky is the only whisky in the world that is made by a Toji (grand-master in the art of sake making) by implementing sake-making methodologies into the whisky making process. The distil pot used is smaller than those used by both Scottish and other Japanese distilleries, which in turn, decreases the levels of fusel alcohol. As a result, Akashi whisky does not require as long of an ageing process, while its core malt (cask strength) is smooth and delicate.

Akashi White Oak is a blended whisky reserved in Japanese Shochu cask (American Oak) for 3 years, aged in ex-bourbon casks before finishing in ex-sherry casks for 2 years.

Colour: Orange amber gold
Nose: Malty, citrusy aroma with scents of black cherry, toffee and oak.
Taste: Notes of vanilla and pine nuts dominate the palate, and lead to a long, malty finish.
