Akashi

About the distillery

In 1984 the White Oak Distillery was founded officially in the Japanese town Akashi. The whisky production was a premiere for Japan and thanks to the growing demand they could produce special types of whisky. The knowledge and use of old techniques allows them to create unique products.

The brand Akashi

Akashi has launched a new range of complementary artisanal whiskies—two blended whiskies and five single malts. Each single malt has a distinctive flavour, the result of being finished in different types of much sought-after casks.
In this collection Akashi condenses the full expertise of a generation of local artisans, experts in crafting traditional eaux-de-vie.
