Akashi White Oak Japanese Whiskey 750ml

Akashi White Oak is a blended Japanese whisky from the White Oak Distillery in Akashi, one of Japan's oldest continuously operating whisky makers. It blends malt and grain whiskies aged in a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, giving a lighter, more approachable style than the big-name Japanese single malts. Expect honeyed malt, a touch of dried fruit, and a soft, slightly briny finish that nods to the distillery's location near the Akashi Strait. Bottled at 80 proof, it's an easy, food-friendly whisky rather than a sipping showpiece. A good way into Japanese whisky without the allocation chase.

How to drink Akashi White Oak

Try it with a splash of water or on the rocks — the lighter blend opens up nicely with a little dilution, in the highball style Japanese whisky is built around. Neat works too if you want the honey and malt undiluted.
