Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky SHOUSHO (小暑) is the 16th installment of the 24 Season Series, and every time we taste this one, which is released every three months, we are reminded of the speed of time and the progress of the distillery.
This time the calendar is “Little Summer Heat. The cicadas begin to sing, the “summer solstice” has passed, but the sun is still long, and the rainy season is over and it begins to get really hot. The whisky is aged in Hokkaido Mizunara oak barrels, bringing out the flavor of Akkeshi Whisky.
