The Akkeshi Taisetsu 2022 Single Malt Whisky - The Great Snowfall

Akkeshi Taisetsu 2022, which is heavily peated by Japanese standards, is the tenth release in the "24 Solar Term Series". Taisetsu means "the great snowfall" and thus stands for the time of year when both the plains and the mountains of Hokkaido are covered in snow. Its taste is correspondingly cool, characterized by citrus fruits such as orange and mandarin as well as herbs and peat.

Aroma: Citrus fruits such as orange and mandarin meet gentle aromas of honey and brown sugar.

Taste: Peat, light notes of soy sauce, buttered toast and herbs.

Finish: Long with lime, ripe mandarin, gentle spice.

The Akkeshi Distillery, founded in 2013, is located in the middle of Hokkaido's untouched nature. The distillery combines traditional Scottish methods with regional sophistication. Peat smoke, sea breezes and the clear waters of Akkeshi Bay give the whiskies their unmistakable character. Most of the maturation takes place in Mizunara oak casks, which provide complex aromas. The cool, damp climate of Hokkaido is reminiscent of Scotland, but has a subtly different effect on cask maturation. Akkeshi strives for its own identity in the whisky market: wild, elegant and profound. With limited editions and a great deal of dedication to craftsmanship, the young distillery has already established a firm place for itself in the world of Japanese whisky.
