Akashi White Oak Crafted by Toji Malt & Grain Japanese Whisky 700ml

Akashi whisky is the only whisky in the world that is made by a Toji (sake master) by implementing sake-making methodologies into the whisky making process.

The pot stil used is smaller than those used by both Scottish and other Japanese distilleries, which in turn, decreases the levels of fusel alcohol. As a result, the White Oak Akashi Toji Malt & Grain Japanese Whisky does not require as long of an aging process, while its core malt (cask strength) is smooth and delicate.

TASTING NOTES

Nose Buttered hot cross buns, chocolate peanuts, lemongrass and a light hint of spicy rye grain.

Palate Cherry bakewells and walnut loaf. Sweet cereals with a dusting of nutmeg and black pepper.

Finish Medium length. Quite sweet with dried apricot and a touch of oatcake.
