The Akkeshi Boshu Peated Single Malt Japanese Whisky (700ml)

The super limited Akkeshi Boshu peated represents the third release and the ninth season in the distillery's series of 24 Sekki, Japan's distinctive cycle of seasons in which solar terms represent the seasons dividing the year into twenty four equal parts, such as the beginning of Spring and the Summer solstice.  'Boshu' or "Sowing Of The Grain" marks a time of the year when grains mature and when fireflies appear, as depicted on the label. Bottled at 55% after three years of ageing, the smoke here is described as being of a campfire quality, with additional chocolate and fruit notes. Approximately 9000 bottles are on offer worldwide.
