Akashi

Volume: 500ml / ABV: 46%

Akashi Single Malt Whisky is made at the White Oak distillery in the Hyogo prefecture, just west of Kobe. Produced using lightly peated barley and aged in three different types of cask, this is the brand's flagship malt. This non-age-statement release ought to prove rather interesting for whisky adventurers looking to try something new.

Tasting Note

Nose

Sweet, light iodine and clove.

Palate

Pleasant bitterness, full-bodied depth with spice, peat-like character and a hint of aniseed and candied ginger.

Finish

Smokey with some tannin notes.
