Details

Product Code: WB-0106-9

There is a huge demand for Japanese whisky and this has seen some interesting new entrants to the market. One of those is Akashi which interestingly claims to be the only Japanese whisky distilled by a Toji (a grand-master in the art of sake making.)

White Oak is their flagship blended whisky. It has been the subject of some controversy as in Japan, it is made with single malt and molasses spirit. This would mean it not being classed as whisky in other parts of the world, so this export version is a blend of malt and grain whiskies. 

It has been matured for three years in a Japanese Shochu cask made of American edge. While whisky matures faster in Japan, White Oak still carries a youthful tang. But it also offers a smooth and sweet malty whisky with hints of smokiness and a complex spicy finish. 

An excellent entry level Japanese whisky that will definitely leave you wanting to sample more.

Tasting notes

Nose

Sweet and malty with black cherry, chocolate, and nutty hints alongside spicy rye grain.

Taste

Sweet and smooth with caramel, chocolate, and vanilla to the fore but with an underlying spiciness with black pepper and nutmeg and hints of peaty smokiness which linger.

Finish

Medium length and quite sharp. The sweetness fades quite quickly but hints of fruitiness linger a little longer while the oak spices and smokiness hold out the longest.
