Product description
White Oak Distillery is located in Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture. It was built in 1984 by Eigashima Shuzo, a company that obtained a license to distill whisky in 1919, four years before the Yamazaki distillery was built.
Eigashima Shuzo's main source of income is still sake and shōchu, and the whisky is currently distilled seven months of the year. White Oak Sea Anchor is a limited edition blended whisky intended exclusively for the Japanese market. It is extremely hard to find, as only 1,000 bottles were released.
