The Akkeshi Shoman 2023 is a heavily peated blended Japanese whisky, distilled at the Akkeshi Distillery on the island of Hokkaido, Japan. This release has an alcohol content of 48% ABV and is part of the "24 Solar Term Series," which is inspired by the ancient Asian calendar. Shoman means "Nature Thrives" and marks the season in May when the weather is favorable and all living things are full of vitality.
The Akkeshi Distillery, which started operations about eight years ago with two pot stills from Forsyths, has quickly made a name for itself. It is located right by the sea, just a few meters from the Pacific Ocean, and is surrounded by marshes, providing direct access to local peat and clear water. These unique conditions give the whisky its distinctive character.
As a World Blend, the Akkeshi Shoman 2023 combines some of the best malt and grain whiskies from around the world. This edition matured in a variety of casks, including bourbon, sherry, wine, oak, and rum casks, giving it remarkable depth and complexity. This is the first time Akkeshi has shown a strong influence from rum casks.
The flavor profile of the Akkeshi Shoman 2023 includes notes of pineapple, oriental incense, and smoke. On the palate, flavors of honey, mango jam, lemon peel, and herbs unfold. The finish is fresh and citrusy with a pleasant acidity and a spicy finish.
Nose | Pineapple and other yellow tropical fruits develop into peaty, almost incense-like notes of charcoal, grilled sausages, bacon and pancakes drenched in maple and honey syrup. Some fresh, juicy Muscat and Delaware grapes shine through. |
Palate | A round, ever-evolving palate with typical Akkeshi flavors of smoke, honey, mango jam, lemon zest and herbs. |
Finish | Incredibly fresh, with a certain acidity from citrus fruits and a slight spiciness from white pepper. |
