The Eigashima distillery was founded by Eigashima Shuzo in 1888 to produce sake. By 1919, they obtained a licence to produce whisky, and soon after, started whisky production. It survived the whisky boom of the 70s and 80s unscratched – a clear testimony to the quality of its whisky. The White Oak Akashi Red Blended Whisky is the standard bottle from its White Oak distillery, and is perfect for those who’d like to try out Japanese whisky.
