Akkeshi Shoman 2023
I have managed to locate and import another bottle. Once gone, I don’t know if I will be able to get any more.
This is the 11th release in the Akkeshi Whisky “Twenty-Four solar terms Series”.
Twenty-Four solar terms Series was introduced from China. The year is divided into 24 equal parts and the seasons are named accordingly, such as Risshun and the Geshi.
The eleventh lunar month to be released this year is “Shoman”.
“Shoman” is the eighth of the Twenty-Four solar terms and is the time of year when the weather is favorable, all things grow vigorously, and heaven and earth begin to be filled with life. The origin of the word “Shoman” is said to come from the word “Shoman”, which means “to be satisfied with a small harvest” when one feels relieved after confirming that the ears of wheat and other crops sown in the fall have grown in order and borne fruit. Shoman in 2023 is May 21. It also refers to the 15-day period from May 21 to June 6, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month of the next Twenty-Four solar terms, “Boshu”.
Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Yellow tropical fruits, charcoal, grilled sausage, bacon, pancake, maple, honey, Shine muscat, delaware.
Palate:
Honey lemon, peat.
Finish:
White pepper, citrus acidity and sweetness, citrus peel
700ml 48% Alcohol
