Akkeshi 2023 "Keichitsu" Season Shosetsu Blended Japanese Whisky 700ml

Akkeshi began distilling in 2016, based in the Akkeshi District of Hokkaido, the concept of distilling and maturing single malt in Japan’s northern wilderness traces back to the very first plans of Masataka Taketsuru, a pioneer of the country’s early whisky production.

The thirteenth product of the Akkeshi 24 Solar terms series, "Akkeshi Blended Whisky - Koyuki" has officially launched
"Light snow" is the 20th day among the 24 solar terms. At this time, the north wind blows, forming a winter air pressure pattern of high in the west and low in the east. News of the first snow comes from the north. Snow can also be seen in mountainous areas. There is not much snow, so it is called "light snow".

The original sake of this product is from "Hokkaido Mizunara Barrel". Part of the liquor inside the bottle is made from Hokkaido barley and matured in Hokkaido Mizunara barrels for more than 3 years. The smell of Akkeshi in winter is usually very mild, but my impression is that it has more peat aroma, Mizunara It has the unique spicy and sweet taste of the barrel, and it also has the unique citrus flavor of Akkeshi.
