- Description
- This 6-year-old Akashi single malt combines Cognac and white wine cask maturation, showcasing White Oak distillery's refined approach to Japanese whisky-making. The white wine finishing adds floral and stone fruit notes to the distillery's characteristically clean, elegant spirit, while the wood influence brings subtle complexity and texture. Bottled at natural strength without chill filtering or added colour, the whisky retains full flavour intensity. A compelling expression for those interested in how alternative cask finishes can enhance Japanese malt.
