"Shosho" signifies the height of summer, a time of lush greenery and abundant harvests. This whisky beautifully captures the essence of this season, offering a refreshing and flavorful experience.
Crafted at the renowned Akkeshi Distillery on the northern island of Hokkaido, Japan, this single malt is meticulously distilled from malted barley and matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks. The result is a complex and harmonious spirit that showcases the unique characteristics of the distillery's terroir.
On the nose, the Shosho unveils a delightful bouquet of ripe banana, honey, and vanilla. As the whisky graces the palate, a wave of sweetness unfolds, followed by a burst of fresh melon and citrus zest. The subtle peat smoke adds a touch of complexity, without overpowering the other flavors. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of banana and oak.
The elegant bottle design, featuring a lotus flower motif, perfectly complements the whisky's summery character. The Akkeshi "Shosho" Single Malt Japanese Whisky 2024 is a true gem for whisky enthusiasts and a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Akkeshi Distillery.
