Akkeshi Single Malt Peated Ritto 70cl 55°
Part of the "24 seasons" series, this fifth edition of the Akkeshi distillery bears the name "Ritto" which means the beginning of winter.
Tradition has it that at this time, children dressed in a traditional outfit take their picture with Chitose sweets, from which the design of this Single Malt is inspired.
Made from peated and unpeated malted barley, part of which comes from a local variety grown in Hokkaido, this peated expression is matured for 3 years in Mizunara, Sherry and Pinot Noir 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.
A complex and deep blended whisky, influenced by Japanese peated malt, with notes of citrus and cocoa.
169,00 €This Blend Akkeshi is made up of 50% peated malt distilled on site and New Pot Grain imported and aged for more than 3 years in the distillery's cellar.
