Akkeshi 'Cold Drops Of Dew' Single Malt Whisky 750mL

Single Malt Japanese Whisky distilled and aged in Hokkaido • Distilled from a majority of locally grown two-row barley, lightly peated with locally grown peat (25 ppm) and distilled on Forsyth copper pot stills • Matured in ex-bourbon, sherry, red wine, & locally grown Hokkaido Mizunara casks • Non-age statement • Nose of red fruit, peated malt, and fresh rye bread is followed by a palate of lush strawberry, orange zest, lemon pepper, and milk chocolate. A creamy texture highlights a beautifully soft peatiness that lingers with a touch of salt. • 55% ABV • US Release of 204 bottles • “Kanro” is the first 750 ml bottling to be released by this exciting young distillery (preceded by the “New Born” series of distillates released in 200ml bottles.) This is the first in Akkeshi’s “24 Solar Term” Series, a collection inspired by an ancient lunar calendar that divides the year into 24 seasons. Loosely translating to “cold dew”, Kanro typically begins on October 8^th and represents the time of year when Autumn deepens, chrysanthemums bloom, and cold dew begins to form on the grass.
