Akkeshi Distillery

Owned by Kenten Jitsugyo · Akkeshi, Hokkaido, Japan · Founded 2016

Founded 2016 in coastal Hokkaido — designed explicitly to mirror Islay (similar latitude, coastal climate, peat bogs). Heavily peated single malt is the signature. Releases follow the 24 traditional Japanese seasons (the 'Sekki' series — Sarorunkamuy, Hatsuyuki, Daikan, etc.).
