White Oak Akashi Blended Whisky

A sample generously gifted by bourbonjosh24. Nose: Honey sweetness with a hint of smoke and a little bit of a medicinal floral smell that I find pleasant. Background light oak and dried fruit. Flavor: Just like it smells. Lightly sweet with vanilla, light smoke, some medicinal woody smells and dried pears. Finish: Just a little spicy with a medium length finish that fades in to an oaky lightly drying pleasant taste. My favorite Japanese whisky to date. Not super complex but that allows some really nice subtle flavors to come through.

Old whiskey taste with new sweetness

Thin, Sweet and Short...a decent sipper when you want an uncomplicated drink 😄

Long finish.

Sweet nose at first but immediately shifts to earthy scents including lemongrass and dirt. Palate is really yeasty with subtle moss. Finish is extremely dry and relatively short.

Smells sharp but sweet. Taste is fairly thin, a little bit of burn, but a fruity sweetness. Maybe grapes or apples. Great for the price.
