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.
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.
