    Akkeshi began distilling in 2016, based in the Akkeshi District of Hokkaido, the concept of distilling and maturing single malt in Japan’s northern wilderness traces back to the very first plans of Masataka Taketsuru, a pioneer of the country’s early whisky production. 

    The Akkeshi BOSHU is the third release from the distilleries “24 Solar Terms” (Sekki) line-up. 24 solar terms are the names that represent the seasons by dividing the year into 24 equal parts, such as the beginning of spring and the summer solstice. BOSHU is the 9th of the 24 solar terms and is generally considered the best time to sow grain and is also a time when mantis and fireflies begin to appear.

    The distillery is inspired by the heavier styles of Scotch whisky, particularly those from Islay. The smoke here is mild, more campfire than furnace, with chocolate and fruit notes.

    Vanilla sweetness combined with some bonfire and peat smoke on the nose. A palate of citrusy, caramel sweetness and some tropical fruits (think fire roasted pineapple) and a salted caramel chocolate bitterness to finish.
