The Akashi Red, also known as White Oak Red, is a blended whisky produced by the Eigashima Shuzo distillery, a renowned establishment founded in 1888 and located near the port of Kobe, Japan. This historic distillery received the first license for spirits production in Japan in 1919 and initially gained recognition for its shochu and sake. Venturing into whisky production in 1984, Eigashima Shuzo has since crafted a unique blend that showcases their expertise. The Akashi Red is typically aged for two years in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, followed by an additional year in sherry casks, resulting in a light blend of Japanese malt whisky and grain whisky. Its versatility makes it a perfect pairing for Japanese cuisine, especially sushi.
On the nose, the Akashi Red offers a bouquet of clean and fresh aromas, featuring vanilla, honey, and accents of dried fruit. The palate experiences rich tastes of citrus, chestnuts, oak, and salty caramel, making each sip a delightful journey. The finish is intense, with lingering notes of vanilla and a touch of brininess that complements seafood perfectly. This whisky is crafted by blending malt and grain distillates, renowned for its delicacy and silky texture.
