Description

The Akashi Signature Single Malt is a no age statement single malt made by blending 3 single malts aged for different lengths of time in different cask finishes. These single malts were a 7 year old, 5 year old and 4 year old matured in Spanish sherry oak, American oak and Bourbon oak casks. The
first release of the No Age Statement Signature Single Malt was September 2012.

The White Oak whisky distillery is located in the city of Akashi in Hyōgo Prefecture, west of Kōbe, facing the Seto Inland Sea. The distillery was founded by Eigashima Shuzō which has produced sake and shochu since 1888. Eigashima Shuzō obtained a license to manufacture whisky in 1919, but it was when the company moved to their current facilities in 1984 that White Oak Distillery was born. White Oak’s whisky stills are only in operation for one month every year and so their production quantity each year is minuscule. Due to this, most of White Oak’s production are blended whiskies due to their limited amounts available to be aged for long enough for single malt bottling, but when these single malts do come on the market the whisky is named ‘Akashi’ after its hometown. The first Akashi release was in 2007.

The nation of Japan is considered an archipelago, or chain of islands, and consists of four major islands and thousands of smaller ones, which are divided into 11 regions.

These regions are further divided into 47 prefectures, Hyōgo being one of these. Hyōgo prefecture is located almost in the centre of the Japanese archipelago on the main island of Honshū and extends from the Japan Sea in the north to the Seto Inland Sea in the south, and further down to the Pacific Ocean through Awaji Island. The prefectural capital of Hyōgo is Kōbe and its neighbours are the prefectures of Ōsaka, Kyōto, Tottori and Okayama.
