The White Oak distillery is perhaps the least well known of Japan's whisky producers. The distillery was founded by in 1888 to produce sake, and because of this, has a legitimate claim to being the country’s oldest whisky producer. In 1919, Eigashima Shuzo obtained a license to make whisky — four years before Yamazaki was built. This White Oak Akashi was matured in a bourbon barrel and bottled at cask strength. If you want to try something truly exotic, with only 96 bottles ever released, then this bottle should be for you!
