Tasting Notes

Nose

Lemon zest, green apple, soft vanilla and a faint sea-salt tang. A gentle note of toasted rice cracker sits beneath the fruit.

Palate

Light-bodied and crisp. Pear, honeydew, white pepper and a thread of grain sweetness. A coastal salinity emerges mid-palate, brightening everything around it.

Finish

Short, clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus pith and a faint mineral note.

Expert Review

8.2/10

From Eigashima Shuzo's tiny White Oak distillery on the Akashi coast — Japan's oldest licensed whisky maker, granted its permit in 1919 — comes a light, salt-kissed blend designed for the highball glass.
