Description
Shosetsu is the 20th of Japan’s Seki and is the 13th release in Akkeshi’s ongoing series. The season is reflective of a time in the year when snow can just barely be seen on mountain peaks and the temperature begins to drop in the west. Like prior releases, Shosetsu’s main malt is matured in Hokkaido mizunara barrels and is supported by a variety of casks, as well as imported grain whisky. This blend has a vibrant, citrusy nose, full of candied lemons, pickled ume, and sweet grains. The palate is plenty citrusy, showing off bright, bitter orange peel, accompanied by smokey cedar. Shosetsu’s finish is a complex balance of bitter lemon peels and rich vanilla cream.
