Akashi Blended Whisky Review
Named after the city it hails from, Akashi Blended Whisky from the Eigashima distillery is a wonderfully complex Japanese whisky made from a blend of malt and grain distillates offering great bang for buck. On the nose, deep malt dances with lively fruit notes, all supported by a whisper of dried apricot. The palate brings subtle peated smoke with a great concentration of flavor.
