The White Oak Distillery is located in the city of Akashi in the Hyogo prefecture. This distillery received its distillery license in 1919 but only really began using it for whisky in 1984. Distilling whisky only one to two months a year, production is very small.
The White Oak Akashi is a slightly lesser-known whisky compared to the big names already out there, outside the local Japanese market.
This version of Akashi is specially produced for the European market using a mixture of Japanese and foreign-made malt and grain whisky to produce a reasonably priced everyday blend.
Nose: A very pleasant nose with honey, kicks of warming spices, wasabi, pepper, citrus and some delicious vanilla.
Palate: Powerful and slightly oily, honey continues through onto the palate with wood, yet more spices, vanilla and citrus.
Finish: Longer than average with honey, spices and cinnamon continuing throughout the finish.
