White Oak Akashi Shin

Sweet almost maple on the front. Nice fluffy feel. Not too harsh on the finish. Not bad for 9 bucks

⌚️: Let sit for about 5 minutes. 👀: Light flecks of hay mixed in with mature wheat, sunset tonight, walls sticking to the sides of the glencairn; 👃: Malty scents typical of Japanese whiskey or scotch, pineapple, a little cherry, sherry influences; 👅: Tartness at the outset gives way to tender velvety soft fruit notes, more cherries and stone fruit, very simplistic taste with not much complexity; 🏁: Short linger is a pleasant one, soft notes stick with you though, reminds me of a harsh Hibiki 🤨, nothing special but hey it’s Akashi!

A very light whisky, smooth when sipping, with a good deal of zing in the finish
