Akkeshi "Keichitsu" Single Malt 55% ABV, the tenth release in the "Twenty-Four Season Series," captures the essence of early spring, when the earth awakens and new life begins to bloom. This whisky evokes the warmth of the first spring sunshine, offering a delightful balance of subtle sweetness and rich peat.
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 goal of Akkeshi Distillery is to blend traditional Scottish methods with the unique flavors of Akkeshi, Japan.
