About this product

“Meisei” means celebrity — and this refined blend certainly lives up to its name.
Crafted by the family-owned White Oak Distillery in Akashi, Hyogo prefecture, Akashi Meisei is a beautifully balanced Japanese whisky that showcases harmony, finesse, and an approachable style. Meaning “celebrity” in Japanese, Meisei is a star in its own right — offering gentle oak, sweet malt, and soft vanilla in a smooth, subtly complex sip.

Designed originally for the French market, this small-batch blend features a higher proportion of malt whisky (45%) than the standard Akashi blend, resulting in richer flavour and greater depth — all while remaining light and graceful. It's a versatile dram that reflects both tradition and innovation in every drop.

Why we love it:
Akashi Meisei is understated and elegant — a perfect entry point into Japanese whisky, but with enough depth to keep seasoned drinkers intrigued. Soft, smooth, and endlessly sippable.
