Whisky Ritto Single Malt Peated 70cl - Akkeshi

The Whisky Ritto Single Malt Peated by Akkeshi is born in the Akkeshi region, in Japanese Hokkaido, a territory that fascinates for its proximity to the ocean and its harsh winters. This distillate best expresses the Japanese reinterpretation of the Scottish tradition of peated whisky, thanks to the careful selection of heavily smoked malts. The aromatic profile is distinguished by its intensity: notes of smoky peat intertwine with hints of oak wood and a light malt sweetness, accompanied by iodized accents that evoke the nearby sea.

The aging takes place in oak barrels, which moderate the power of the peat, giving complexity and a long persistence on the palate. On the taste, it is full and enveloping, with a balanced structure between robust smoke and malt softness, culminating in a clean and persistent finish. Ritto is a whisky that suits moments of thoughtful tasting, but thanks to its characteristic peatiness, it finds excellent pairings with smoked dishes and grilled meats. A sensory experience that leads to the discovery of a terroir and craftsmanship entirely Japanese.
