About

The 12th release in Akkeshi's Twenty Four Seasons series. Hakuro means "white dew" or "glistening dew" and represents the time when summer heat fades and autumn cool settles. Known for prominent sandalwood aromatics from the mizunara cask aging, a hallmark of mature Akkeshi whisky.

What People Are Saying

Part of the Akkeshi 24 Solar Terms collection. The community notes for Akkeshi as a brand apply: "consistently excellent" craft whisky with an Islay inspired character. Hakuro as a specific expression has more limited individual discussion, but collectors who have tried it in the series context praise the distillery's evolution and consistency across releases. Price remains the main community concern.
