Akkeshi Single Malt Peated Boshu 70cl 55°
This Akkeshi Boshu whisky is the third in the "24 Solar Term Series" which draws inspiration from the ancient Asian calendar.
It has now been 5 years since the first distillery in Akkeshi town started to distil whisky. Like the Isle of Islay in Scotland, the distillery is located on the seafront, a few meters from the Pacific Ocean. Being also surrounded by marshes, it can directly access the local peat.
The result is a whisky with the sweetness and fruity taste characteristic of Akkeshi malt.
Quantity limited to 1 bottle per customer.

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.
