White Oak Distillery Akashi 5 Year Old Sake Cask Finish Single Malt Whisky Japan 750 ML

Eigashima Shuzo White Oak Akashi 5 Year Old Sake Cask

Eigashima Shuzohas been making traditional Japanese alcoholic beverages such as sake for over three centuries. Their White Oak Distillery even holds Japan’s first whisky license, issued in 1919 with serious malt production starting in 1984. The distillery is located just a rock’s skip away from Kobe Bay and ocean-laden air is reflected in its whisky’s savory, saline-driven purity. Distilled using 100% lightly peated barley malt in copper stills, the whisky is then aged for ex-bourbon casks and ex-Kijoshu sake casks. Kijoshu sake, a rich style sake similar to sherry and its cask imparts unique character to Akashi’s elegant single malt.
