Vatted malt Japanese whisky by exchange of original Japanese whisky. Tsunuki x Akkeshi is new arrival.
Hombo Shuzo released Komagatake x Chichibu malt duo in 2021. This second release is Tsunuki x Akkeshi distillery. This new release is a blend of the original whisky made at the two distilleries, which started distilling in the same year 2016.
Please enjoy the competition of Japanese craft whisky distilleries.
Mars Tsunuki Distillery and Akkeshi Distillery started distilling in Kagoshima and Hokkaido respectively in 2016. The two distilleries, which have completely different climates, exchanged malt liquors with each other in 2018 and started maturing in their respective locations. This bottle is a blended malt Japanese whisky made by vatting the two malt liquors “Tsunuki” and “ Akkeshi” matured at the Mars Tsunuki distillery. Please enjoy the collaboration of Tsunuki and Akkeshi, which were lit in pot stills at the same time in faraway places.
We want to explore the further possibilities of Japanese whisky and create a delicious whisky that transcends distillery boundaries. The Malt Duo series is a series of whiskies that exchange malt whiskies, mature them in their respective environments, and vat them with their own malt whiskies. This will be the second release following the “Mars Whisky Malt Duo Komagatake x Chichibu 2021”.
