That is a fitting reference for a distillery which has put its own barley at the centre of the project: the team oversees growing and harvest on Hokkaido land near the site, and supplements it with imported malt when the peating level calls for it. The town itself is a fishing and oyster port on the Pacific edge of the island, wrapped in fog through summer and frozen hard in winter, and that swing works on casks in the warehouse. A portion of the stock goes into Mizunara, cut from Hokkaido oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeat smoke arrives first, dry and faintly medicinal, then malt, lemon and a wisp of sea air. Drink it neat in a small glass, no colder than the room. A splash of water opens the malt sweetness, and it holds together well over one large cube.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DiVino.com.au","offers":[{"title":"Whisky \/ Hokkaido \/ Akkeshi Distillery","offer_id":44287990726715,"sku":"19944-700","price":529.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0823\/1483\/files\/19944-700.png?v=1790124460","url":"https:\/\/www.divino.com.au\/products\/akkeshi-distillery-boshu-single-malt-japanese-whisky","provider":"DiVino.com.au","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
