The Akkeshi Seimei is a peated single malt Japanese whisky produced by the Akkeshi Distillery, situated on the northern island of Hokkaido, Japan. This whisky represents the seventh release in the Sekki series and is characterized by its light peat profile. Crafted using a mix of sourced and locally grown Hokkaido barley, the whisky benefits from the pristine waters of the Homakai River, filtered through a layer of peat before distillation in traditional Forsyths copper pot stills. The Akkeshi Seimei is notable for its innovative maturation process, primarily aged in ex-bourbon casks, with a smaller proportion maturing in sherry, red wine, and locally grown Mizunara oak casks. Bottled at cask strength and free from chill filtration or colorants, this whisky offers a robust and genuine character with a smoky undertone. As part of the 24 Solar Terms Series, a traditional Japanese concept dividing the year into 24 seasons based on the lunar calendar, each release in this series showcases the influence of these terms on whisky production. The name "Seimei" translates to "clean, clear, and lively," reflecting the whisky's vibrant and pure essence. The Akkeshi Seimei features a soft and well-rounded mouthfeel, complemented by notes of red fruits, candied citrus peels, sweet honey, and gentle spices. The bottle itself is adorned with a striking dark green and blue color palette, making it a distinguished addition to any collection. Released in 2022, this limited edition comprises only 492 bottles available in the US.

It combines sourced and locally grown barley, aged in a distinctive mix of casks, resulting in a complex and smoky flavor profile.
