Akashi 'White Oak' Japanese Blended Whisky

White Oak Distillery is one of Japan’s oldest family-run distilleries and just hired their 8th employee! A true micro distillery. This is designed to be an approachable sipping whisky with its malty citrusy profile balanced with hints of salinity due to its coastal location. Distilled from wheat, barley and rye with very subtle peat, aged in ex-Bourbon, shochu and sherry barrels. 

Buttered hot cross buns, chocolate peanuts, lemongrass and a light hint of spicy rye grain. Cherry bakewells and walnut loaf. Sweet cereals with a dusting of nutmeg and black pepper. Medium length. Quite sweet with dried apricot and a touch of oatcake.
