Tokinoka is a Japanese blended whisky produced by the White Oak distillery, located in Akashi . The distillery belongs to Eigashima Shuzo, a Japanese company whose history dates back to 1679 and is traditionally known for the production of sake and shōchū.
The name Tokinoka means "scent of time" in Japanese. The blend combines malt and grain whiskies , produced and then matured in oak casks .
The White Oak distillery holds a special place in the history of Japanese whisky: it obtained a license to produce whisky as early as 1919, before modernizing its facilities in 1984 to further develop this activity. Its expertise is thus rooted in a long Japanese tradition while incorporating certain distillation and maturation methods from Scotland.
