Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky Risshun
Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky RISSHUNļ¼ē«ę„ļ¼is the 14th in the 24 Season Series.
"Risshun" is the beginning of the 24 seasons and the time when the longitude of the sun reaches 315 degrees, which is around February 4 on the solar calendar. It is the midpoint between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox. Since it is calculated based on the movement of the sun, it is cold enough to be called spring, but one can sense that the days are longer than at the winter solstice. Risshun and Setsubun are also closely related. The day before Risshun is Setsubun.
Tasting Notes:
Peat, citrus juice, persimmon notes in the background
La Maison FontaineĀ® Blanche
La Maison FontaineĀ® Blanche, the World's most awarded blanche absinthe, is masterfully refined using an array of natural herbs including our world-renowned Pontarlier-grown Grande Absinthe.
Sweet and refreshing taste characterised by rich floral notes with hints of lemon and mint, Fontaine Blanche is a classic absinthe with a contemporary twist.
Re-discover Lost Art. Connoisseurs believe that the perfect serve is to drip 3 measures of chilled water from an absinthe fountain over 1 measure of Fontaine Blanche. This creates a stimulating, refreshing drink with a silky white louche. Some prefer a more intense flavour and sip it neat or pour it over ice.
Fontaine Blanche is also a wonderfully versatile spirit that can be mixed into an array of sublime cocktails. We call this The Art of Imagination.

Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky Hakuro
Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky HAKUROļ¼ē½é²ļ¼is the 12th in the 24 Season Series.
The single malt Hakuro refers to the time of year when the summer heat begins to wain and the cool of autumn starts to settle. Continuing with their primary aging of malt in mizunara barrels, Hakuro shows much more of those trademark sandalwood aromatics on the nose that are accompanied by honey, baked bread, and pastry cream. The palate is rich and smokey with a delicate persimmon like sweetness throughout. The finish is all bittersweet chocolate, black tea, and smokey incense. Akkeshi Hakuro is a beautiful representation of seasonal change in liquid form.
Tasting Notes:
Orangette, citrus freshness, bitter and slightly sweet.
