Akashi Japanese Blended Whisky

The White Oak distillery was founded in 1888 by Eigashima Shuzo, mainly produces sake; for forty years now it has been expanded with the addition of stills for the production of whisky. However, stills that only work for one month of the year, so the amount of whiskey produced is small. Akashi comes from a double distillation through 2 pot stills; it is a blended whiskey created with 30% single malt; for the European market, molasses is replaced by grain whisky, which makes up 70% of the distillate. The choice of raw materials and the accurate production techniques make this blended a refined and elegant distillate, of great expressiveness.
