What People Are Saying

One of Akkeshi's blended whisky entries in the 24 Solar Terms series. The blended expressions are generally considered more accessible and slightly better value than the single malts within the series, though the price is still substantial. Community members who collect the full set appreciate the variation between blended and single malt releases.
