Akashi Single Malt Whisky White Oak

This is White Oak Akashi single malt from Eigashima Shuzo in Hyōgo — the historic distillery stands beside the Akashi Strait. The seaside setting lends the spirit a light body and a whisper of sea air. Fruity aromas with faint smoke — brisk, easy and refreshing. Beside weightier styles, Akashi is nimble and approachable. Neat, over ice or in a highball — the highball especially crisp. As an affordably priced Japanese single malt, it offers solid value. A fine choice for first steps into Japanese malt, or for lovers of lighter styles.
