Akashi Single Malt Review
The Eigashima (White Oak) distillery is situated in Akashi, near the Osaka Bay in southern Japan. This single malt release from the distillery spends 5 to 8 years maturing in former bourbon, sherry, and brandy casks. With its close proximity to the bay, the agin spirit takes on maritime influences, which work seamlessly with its bold core of malt and orchard fruits.
