Akkeshi Taisetsu “The Great Snowfall” Single Malt Whisky 55% ABV, the ninth release in the "24 Seki Series," embodies the tranquil beauty of the deep winter season. As the shortest days bring snow-covered landscapes and peaceful stillness, this whisky offers a vibrant yet balanced flavor profile.


It highlights refreshing notes of winter citrus, complemented by the richness of Darjeeling tea, honey cakes, and a touch of umami. Aged in a unique combination of Hokkaido Mizunara, ex-bourbon, sherry, and red wine barrels, this peated whisky delivers a refined, layered experience perfect for winter contemplation.
