Akashi Whisky Blended 0.5l

Description

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.

From this winery

The history of the Japanese Whiskey is closely connected to that of the young chemistry student Masataka Taketsuru who, after the First World War, went to Scotland to learn the method of producing malt spirits.

On his return, Taketsuru decided to found the Nikka distillery, now renowned for the high quality of malt distillates it produces. Although Taketsuru is considered the father of the Japanese Whiskey, it is however important to remember that he was not the first to distill Whiskey in the Land of the Rising Sun. In fact, in fact, the "White Oak Distillery", founded back in 1888, began producing Whiskey, albeit in small quantities, as early as 1919.

In 1984, then, with the construction of a new and modern factory, the "White Oak Distillery", located in the city of Akashi and now belonging to the Eigashima company, has become one of the most important Japanese distilleries that produces malt whiskey. Read more
