White Oak Akashi is a blended Japanese whisky from the Eigashima Shuzo distillery in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is made by a Toji, a master of sake brewing, who brings sake-making methods to the whisky.
The blend uses 70% corn and 30% lightly peated Scottish malt, distilled in a lantern-shaped copper pot still. It is aged mainly in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in sherry casks.
Black cherry and vanilla come first on the nose, with toasted malt, roasted nuts and a light sea air. The palate offers vanilla, pine nut, yellow apple and toffee. The finish is medium, malty, with a little peat smoke and a marshmallow-like sweetness.
