Akashis Blended Whiskey makes for an excellent introduction to the Japanese whisky category.

It’s a lightly peated malt and grain blended whisky, crafted to be an approachable sipping whisky with a classic Japanese flavor profile. The blend of malt and grain whiskies are distilled from wheat, barley, and rye, and are aged in ex-bourbon, barley shochu, and sherry casks, as well as new oak barrels.
