History,
Akkeshi New Born "Foundations 4" is a blend of malts and grains matured in sherry and other specially prepared casks for 13-30 months. Crafted with over 60% malts, it is made with only unblended malt whisky distilled and matured at Akkeshi Distillery and unblended grain whisky made from a new type of Scottish grain spirit that was barreled at Akkeshi Distillery and matured in the Akkeshi environment. More than half of the unblended malt whisky was matured in sherry casks and made with 5% "Ryofu" malting barley grown in Hokkaido. Reminiscent of the Hokkaido heartland, the flavour has been carefully curated for relishing a peaceful moment of hard-earned downtime.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Sweet aroma of satsuma, citrus, raisin, banana and maple syrup
Palate: Sweetness of raisin butter and marmalade with a hint of salt like salted caramel
Finish: Spicy like white pepper and bitter-sweet like dark chocolate
