Single Malt Whisky, Japan
Following the success of his “Akkeshi New Born” and his “Akkeshi Single Malt Whiskey Lightly Peated Sarorunkamuy” in 20cl, Akkeshi’s first single malt whiskey is available in 70cl: “AKKESHI Single Malt Peated Kanro”. 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 our uncompromising commitment to single malt manufacturing and the widespread recognition of Akkeshi’s environment as the best place for our 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 first of the ’24 Solar term series’. The series is inspired by the ancient Asian calendar where a year is divided into 24 solar seasons.
