Akkeshi Blended Daikan 70cl 48°
Akkeshi produces a range of whiskeys called "the 24 seasons series" in homage to the old Japanese calendar in which the year is divided into 24 seasons, each of which marks a characteristic change of season.
This bottling named Daikan is the 24th and therefore the last Single Malt in the series, which designates the period of winter when the days are the coldest. It is during this period, when temperatures can drop to -20°C, that the intense cold forms vapours and mists on the surface of the sea and which reflect the lights.
It is from this unique natural phenomenon called "Kearashi" that the clear design of this blend containing New Pot Grain is inspired.
A unique expression, influenced by Japanese peated malt, notes of chocolate, citrus, white pepper and sea spray.

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.
