The Akkeshi Soko Blended Whisky Japanese

Akkeshi Distillery is located in the town of Akkeshi in Hokkaidō, where the climate is close to that of Scotland's Islay. It distils on Forsyth copper pot stills, its malt is largely peated, and it matures in Hokkaido Mizunara, ex-bourbon, sherry and wine casks. The "24 Sekki" series is named for Japan's 24 solar terms, capturing the subtle turn of the seasons. "Soko" (霜降, frost descent) is a 24 Sekki blended malt whisky for late autumn in October, released in 2024.
