AKKESHI Lightly Peated 55° 20cl

Japanese Whiskey, Single Malt, Akkeshi, 20 cl, 55%,

Entering production in 2016, the Akkeshi distillery presents its very first single malt; Hokkaido Akkeshi Single Malt Lightly Peated Sarorunkamuy, a whiskey with a lightly peated character and a delicate, ample and complex profile.

Distilled in 2016, the single malts were aged for 3 years in Bourbon, Sherry and for the key malt in Mizunara barrels, Japanese oak. The result of this blend is very promising and is revealed on the nose by aromas of red fruits, grilled malt and crème brûlée, to which are added on the palate fruity notes of candied cherry, yuzu, bitter orange, as well as more gourmet notes of hazelnut chocolate brownie, and small spicy touches of nikki cinnamon and sansho pepper. A soft and persistent finish in which white pepper and orange zest will accompany the disappearance of the aromas.
