Akkeshi Single Malt Peated Seimei 70cl 55°
Akkeshi Single Malt Peated Seimei is the seventh whiskey in the 24 Seasons series from the Japanese distillery, in homage to the ancient Asian calendar.
This peaty bottling is named Seimei, which means "clear and bright", like the period it represents: the beginning of spring, with the appearance of flowers, the return of blue skies and the cool breeze.
This whisky, with its soft, fresh and peaty profile, embodies this period with elegance and subtlety. It is a Single Malt made from malted barley from Hokkaido, in addition to malted barley imported from Scotland. It is resulting from a complex blend of which 73% of the whisky comes from Bourbon casks, 13% from Sherry casks, 10% Japanese red wine barrels and more than 2% Mizunara oak barrels.

The Japanese distillery Akkeshi produces its whiskeys by combining traditional Scottish methods and unique ingredients from Japan.
The Japanese distillery Akkeshi was founded in 2016 by the company Kenten Jitsugyo whose leader, Keiichi Toita, was seduced by the smoky and peaty notes of Islay malts during his first "unforgettable" experience with a 17-year-old Ardbeg in a bar from Ginza.
Nicknamed little Lagavulin, the Akkeshi distillery is located on the island of Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan, where it enjoys a cool and humid climate with frequent sea fogs reminiscent of the climate of the famous Scottish distillery.
In this lush natural environment, the distillery's guideline is to combine traditional Scottish methods and unique local resources from Japan to craft their Japanese take on Islay Smoked Malt Whiskies.
It will be necessary to wait until 2020 to see the appearance of the first Japanese Single Malt whiskey from the Akkeshi distillery, a true embodiment of local craftsmanship.
