Akkeshi

Located at Akkeshi, a town in Kushiro, Hokkaido, the distillery by the same name was established in 2013 - commencing with some experimental aging and eventually began distilling in October 2016 - once the new distillery set up was completed.  With 2 dunnage style warehouses on-site and a third warehouse (with a racking system) adjacent to the sea, the distillery targets a flavour profile similar to Scotland's Islay malts.
