Akkeshi’s 24 Sekki series seeks to evoke the micro seasons of the Japanese solar year, expressing seasonal nuance in liquid form. Shoman is the eight season, when spring growth reaches full flush, ripening and blooming. Akkeshi’s Shoman – Nature Thrives encapsulates this idea in a malt & grain whisky that balances flourishing fruit and rich, savory elements.
