Apologies to those visiting the site today to look for our March SMWS outturn notes – as of writing, the bottles have not yet arrived at the member rooms in London (I doubt the current wintery weather across the UK has helped things), so no preview tasting has been possible – we’ll aim to restore normal service in April for you all. So, in the meantime, we’ll revert to Japan, for a look at a whisky that’s relatively accessible, but not nearly as well-known as the likes of Suntory or Nikka – Akashi Single Malt from White Oak Distillery.
