Akashi 10 años Single Malt Whisky

Akashi whisky is produced at the Eigashima Distillery (also known as White Oak Distillery), which obtained its whisky license in 1919, making it one of Japan's oldest whisky producers. The 'Akashi' expression is a single malt whisky known for its light, delicate, and approachable style. Located in Hyogo Prefecture near the Akashi Strait, the distillery benefits from a unique coastal climate that influences maturation. The whisky typically features subtle notes of malt, vanilla, and light fruit, with a clean finish. It's often considered an excellent entry point into Japanese single malts due to its gentle character and affordability.
