Akkeshi

Located in Japan’s northern most island of Hokkaido and further east than any other distillery in the country, production at Akkeshi Distillery started in 2016. The town of Akkeshi has a cool, moist climate with frequent rolling sea fog that blankets the town coming off the marshes of the Bekan-Beushi wetlands. Fog and marshes like these are indispensable to the production of whisky with similar characteristics to Islay malts. Operating in this bountiful natural environment, Akkeshi Distillery will be a sustainable enterprise in harmony with nature.

The goal of Akkeshi Distillery is to blend traditional Scottish methods with the unique flavors of Akkeshi, Japan. With extremely unique aromas and flavors unlike anything else these whiskies will be a delight to aficionados worldwide. Akkeshi Distillery is the true embodiment of craftsmanship and is on track to be a leader in the highest quality Japanese whisky world.

Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky Hakuro

$398.00
Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky HAKURO（白露）is the 12th in the 24 Season Series.

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.
