Aroma: Soft red fruits (think raisins, cherries and a few cheeky raspberries), followed by a hint of smokey spice.

Palate: Treacle, plums, aromatic black tea, earthy oak and blackcurrant.

Conclusions: Baking spices, chocolate and a hint of marmalade.

Editor Choice: A single malt from the White Oak distillery, released as part of the Akashi range – most of the whisky from the distillery goes into the company's blends, with only a tiny amount appearing as malt. This five-year-old has been matured in a red wine cask, giving it a hit of red fruit and a touch of dryness.
