What it tastes like.

Japanese whisky is not only Suntory or Nikka, there are many other less known distilleries whose reputation continues to grow. And for this new tasting, They choose a blended malt (a blend of several single malt), the White Oak Tokinoka. The White Oak distillery, located in the city of Akashi (Hyogo Prefecture), was the first to obtain a license for distilling whisky in 1919. Built in 1888 for the production of sake and shochu, at the beginning the distillery produced only blend whisky in a traditional way and especially reserved for the domestic market. Then the site was modified in 1984 to start producing whisky in bigger quantities. The Eigashima Shuzo Company owner of the distillery, produced since 2007 several single malt named Akashi.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Eigashima Shuzo (White Oak)

Akashi, Hyōgo

Eigashima Shuzo started making sake and shochu at Akashi, on the coast of Hyōgo between Kobe and the Seto Inland Sea, in 1888. As imported Scotch caught on in Japan, the company applied for a licence to distil whisky and received it in 1919 β€” the first granted in the country. The distillery as it stands today was built in 1984, when whisky finally became a serious part of the business.

It remains small, and the whisky is still made with the same underground water the house uses for its sake. You'll see it under the Akashi, White Oak and Tokinoka names β€” light, clean, easygoing whisky from a producer that has been at it, in one form or another, for well over a century.
