Akashi Whisky Blended 0.5L

Akashi Blended Whisky is one of the products of the Japanese distillery White Oak, located in the city that gives the spirit its name, on the island of Honshu. The tradition of this distillery is very ancient, dating back to the late 1800s when it distilled exclusively sake; starting in the mid-1980s, whisky production was also added. The latter spread in Japan thanks to a chemistry student, Masataka Taketsuru, who went to Scotland in the early 1950s to learn the secrets of producing malt-based spirits and upon returning to his homeland founded the first whisky distillery. Akashi Blended Whisky is a very special spirit created by expertly blending single malt whisky and grain spirits, to which approximately 30% barley malt is added. To give this blend its strength, it undergoes an aging process in American oak barrels. It is highly sought after by whisky enthusiasts as its production is limited, as the stills used for its distillation operate for only one month a year. Akashi Blended Whisky is vigorous and smooth, alternating between sweet and pleasant notes, making it a true delight for those who periodically taste spirits, allowing them to seamlessly perceive the various aromas and flavors that distinguish it.
