Akashi Malt – White Oak Destillery 50 CL 46%

White Oak (Eigashima) is another Japanese distillery that has not achieved the same state status as Yamazaki and the other great, but still manages to produce high quality whiskey for a fair price.

This bottling is a brilliant example of the influence Scottish whiskey has had in Japanese whiskey, and you can pull direct lines between this bottling and speyside. It is bottled by a strength of 46% and is neither cold filtered nor added dye.
