Akkeshi Single Cask 2018 Peated 70cl 58°
With its peaty profile and notes of sea spray, this Japanese whiskey does not envy Scotch whiskies from Islay.
Located on the island of Hokkaido in northern Japan, Akkeshi is surrounded by the best natural elements for making its 100% Japanese whiskies: between the seaside, peat bogs, Mizunara oak forests and barley crops.
This Single Cask distilled in 2018 and aged in Bourbon barrels takes us to its Japanese lands with its peaty and saline notes with the characteristic citrus touch of the distillery.

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.
