Akkeshi Boshu 2021, part of the renowned "24 Solar Terms" series, captures the essence of early summer in Japan's Akkeshi Bay. Distilled from malt grown in the coastal climate, this whisky is rich with layers of flavor that evoke the season. The nose is filled with warm, inviting notes of milk chocolate, dried fruits, and a nutty sweetness, intertwined with hints of bonfire smoke and subtle peat.
The finish lingers with a tide-like saltiness, balanced by bitter cacao, a citrus-like acidity, and sugar syrup sweetness, offering a beautifully complex and refreshing whisky experience.
