Deep Notes of Sweetness – Akashi White Oak PX Sherry Cask 3 Years
🌏 Description
The Akashi White Oak PX Sherry Cask 3 Years Old is a distinctive expression from Japan’s Eigashima Shuzo, best known for crafting elegant, small-batch whiskies under the White Oak label. This bottling is matured exclusively in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks, imparting a deep richness and layered sweetness that elevates the youthful malt into a complex tasting experience.
On the nose, it exudes dark fruit, raisin, and prune, balanced by warm spice and roasted nuts. The palate reveals waves of molasses, dried cherry, dark chocolate, and a subtle oak backbone that brings depth without overpowering the sweetness. The sherry influence is unmistakable—lush, velvety, and lingering. Despite its age, the finish is long and satisfying, revealing hints of cinnamon and toasted wood.
Crafted at the White Oak Distillery in Akashi City, near the Seto Inland Sea, this whisky combines Japanese coastal aging conditions with Spanish wine tradition—offering a truly global taste in a compact, sophisticated bottle.

※Additional Explanation
Akashi’s PX 3 Years Old is part of a growing trend in Japanese whisky innovation, where small distilleries explore sherry cask finishes to rival European traditions. PX casks are known for their dessert wine heritage, originally used for aging syrupy-sweet wines in Spain. Their effect on whisky is profound—adding depth, viscosity, and an unmistakable signature of figs, raisins, and chocolate.
What sets this bottle apart is how well the young malt adapts to the bold character of PX wood. Where many 3-year whiskies can feel raw or unbalanced, Akashi PX 3yo feels polished. That’s thanks to coastal aging, meticulous cask selection, and the patience of White Oak’s distillers.
It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, grilled figs, or even mild cheese, creating a delightful experience for both casual drinkers and whisky aficionados. This is a perfect bottle for fans of Macallan Sherry Oak, GlenDronach, or Kavalan Solist Sherry, but seeking a Japanese twist.
