About
The White Oak Akashi 1997 Luna is a rare and exceptional single malt whisky from Japan. Emerging from the modest yet historically rich Eigashima distillery, which obtained its whisky production license in 1919, this whisky offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship of old Japan. Situated by the Akashi strait near Kobe, this distillery produces whisky for only one or two months a year, underscoring the exclusivity of their offerings. With just 102 bottles available, this 12-year-old is a true collector's find, bottled at cask strength without chill-filtering or colorings. The Akashi 1997 Luna reveals a rich and deep tasting experience thanks to its maturation in a sherry cask. Expect a full and complex nose with notes of dried fruits and subtle spices. The palate is a dance of sweetness and spiciness, with a long, warm finish that invites you back for more. Enjoy this whisky neat to fully appreciate its complex layers. For a surprising twist, consider serving it with a small drop of water to further unfold the flavors, adding a new dimension to your tasting experience.
