| Description: | History,. The Akkeshi Usui blend which serves as the 2nd season in the distillery's series of 24 Sekki, Japan's distinctive cycle of seasons. The Usui or âRain waterâ is a blend of malt and grain, with more than half of the spirit malt from Akkeshi and the rest imported aged grain spirit. According to a label translation, âThe sweet and fragrant peat of Akkeshi malt combined with the lightness of the grain makes it gorgeous and never gets tired of drinking.â. Akkeshi began distilling in 2016 amongst a swathe of ânewâ Japanese distilleries. 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. Indeed, the distillery is inspired by the heavier styles of Scotch whisky, particularly those from Islay. It is owned by Kenten Co, an import-export company and President Keichi Toita is a long-time whisky aficionado and lover. He was behind the distillery's location and style and give that the distillery is wholly backed by Kenten, they don't have to answer to any outside parties. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Rich and Fruity nose with hints of citrus raisins and cocoa. Palate: Reminiscent of curacao on the palate with bright lemon, lime and orange notes. Finish: The finish has a milk chocolate sweetness blending perfectly with a white pepper spice |
