Akkeshi’s Single Malt Seimei, the seventh release in the "24 Seki Series," marks the arrival of spring, a season when nature awakens after the cold winter months. Swallows on the label symbolize their return from warmer climates, aligning with the season's theme of renewal.


This single malt showcases a finely balanced combination of lightly peated and unpeated malt, aged predominantly in ex-bourbon barrels, with the addition of sherry, red wine, and Hokkaido Mizunara casks. The tasting profile offers a delicate interplay of light smoke, lemon cream, sea salt, and honey, leading to a lingering finish of bittersweet chocolate.
