AKKESHI

The Young Japanese Distillery started producing in October 2016 in rural northern Japan, in Akkeshi on the island of Hokkaido. As in Islay, the distillery is located on the seafront with the Pacific Ocean a few meters away. Surrounded by marshes, it has direct access to local peat. Following  the success of Akkeshi New Born and Akkeshi Single Malt Whisky Peated Sarourunkamuy in 20 cl, this distillery then released Whisky Akkeshi Single Malt Peated Kanro.
