Akashi White Oak, crafted by Toji Malt & Grain, is a balanced Japanese whisky from Eigashima Shuzo (Akashi) in Hyogo. It blends malt and grain whiskies under Toji’s supervision and matures in American white oak casks. The result is approachable and well-rounded, with bright citrus, vanilla sweetness, and a clean oak finish. Suitable neat, with a splash of water, or in light cocktails.
