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.

7/10

Brought this to a tasting and it disappeared fast. Rich amber colour, ripe fruit on the nose, soft and approachable on the palate with just enough complexity to keep things interesting. It's the kind of whiskey that makes everyone at the table happy.

7/10

Not trying to be anything it isn't — just honest, well-made whiskey with warm honey notes, a touch of cinnamon, and a clean finish. The kind of bottle you open on a Tuesday night and feel genuinely pleased about. Great value at this price point.
