Single Malt Whisky, Japan

Following the success of the first single malt “Kanro”, discover the second single malt of Akkeshi in 70cl: “Akkeshi Single Malt Peated Boshu”. It has now been 5 years since the operation of the first distillery in Akkeshi town in Hokkaido began. This whiskey is the result of their uncompromising commitment to single malt manufacturing and the widespread recognition of Akkeshi’s environment as the best place for their whiskeys. As in Islay, the distillery is located on the seafront with the Pacific Ocean a few meters away. Surrounded by marshes, it also has direct access to local peat. You will appreciate the distinctive sweetness and fruity taste of Akkeshi whiskey. This Akkeshi whiskey is the third of the ’24 Solar term series’. The series is inspired by the ancient Asian calendar where a year is divided into 24 solar seasons. The season of “Boshu” means the season of sowing grains and seeds of spiked grains such as rice and wheat. The fruit of the plum changes from blue to yellow, and the shrike begins to cry. It is also the time when fireflies begin to appear. The label is inspired by the season with an image of fireflies flying in a clear stream rich in nature.
