Akashi White Oak Blended Whisky

Akashi White Oak Blended Whisky is a light, smooth expression from Eigashima Shuzo, a historic producer based in the coastal city of Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture. This blend brings together grain whisky and peated malt whisky distilled from wheat, rye and barley, resulting in an approachable yet characterful profile.

The whiskies are matured on site in a combination of ex-bourbon, barley shochu and sherry casks as well as new oak barrels, giving a delicate balance of flavours. The nose is lightly fruity, with lemon, cherry stone, toffee and a mild sea breeze. The palate offers vanilla and pine nuts, leading to a long, wheat-led finish with lingering peat. Enjoy this Japanese blend neat, on the rocks or as the foundation for a refined highball.
