White Oak - Akashi

White Oak Akashi is a blended whisky reserved in Japanese Shochu cask (American Oak) for 3 years, aged in ex-bourbon casks before finishing in ex-sherry casks for 2 years. A lesser-known whisky 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.

An extremely delicious Okinawa single malt that was matured for 8 years in the finest American White Oak casks available. The results are an intriguing and complex expression that offers a lot for such a young whisky. Like all Kura expressions, it’s well worth getting your hands on.
