ISC-International Spirits Challenge - Gold

2022

Akkeshi "Ritto" Single Malt 55% ABV is a remarkable whisky, showcasing the deepening flavors of the winter season in northern Japan. This 5th release in the "24 Sekki" Series reflects the delicate transition to winter, capturing the essence of Hokkaido's locally grown barley.


With a rich and evolving profile, it offers a harmonious blend of brown sugar sweetness, fruit basket nuances, and a unique twist of chocolate soy sauce. The vibrant sweetness and acidity of citrus fruits are balanced with white pepper and barbecue smokiness, finishing with a delightful sweet orange note, making it a complex and bold choice for whisky enthusiasts.
