White Oak
Tasting Notes
Akashi Toji Blended Malt & Grain whisky beckons with an inviting aroma that unfurls like a rich tapestry. Oaken vanilla and cracked peppercorns greet the senses, soon joined by layers of caramel and smoky tea notes that tease the palate with anticipation. The first sip unveils a delightful medley of honeyed prunes and sultanas, accompanied by warming oaken spice that envelops the tongue in a cozy embrace. Creamy grain and biscuity malt shine through, adding depth and character to this delightful blend. As the liquid lingers, the finish unveils fruited flapjack notes, warming cinnamon and pepper, a whisper of peat, and nutty oak, all harmoniously intertwined with lingering caramel sweetness. Crafted by a grand master in sake making, this Japanese blend owes its unique character to the use of smaller pot stills, reducing harsher flavors and minimizing the need for extended aging.
