The Akkeshi New Born 3 Foundations Series Hokkaido Mizunara is a unique Japanese whisky that perfectly showcases the ideal environment of Akkeshi, Hokkaido for producing unprecedented whisky. The distillery, which began its operations in 2016, is located in rural northern Japan, where thick salty sea fog, pure clean air, and rich peat deposits contribute to the complex flavor profile.
This particular expression, Foundations 3, is a vatted blend of non-peated malts matured for 8-23 months in rare Mizunara Oak casks. Bottled at a robust 55% ABV, it features a fragrant aroma of brown sugar, vanilla, and fresh melon, complemented by spice notes of nutmeg. The taste profile includes coconut flakes, pecans, dried pear, cereals, and honey, with the alcohol integration remarkably smooth for its age. The finish is medium with young wood, barley, and linen cloths nuances.
What sets this whisky apart is its maturation in casks crafted from 100% Mizunara Oak grown locally in Hokkaido, marking a first for the distillery. The Foundations series represents the Dream, Beginning, Establishment, and Birth of a new era in Japanese whisky. With only 3000 bottles produced, this whisky is a unique collector's item and a must-try for any enthusiast looking to explore high-quality Japanese whiskies.
