Imani Carney 4.5 August 2019

This has good peat and the complexity is well-handled. It's my first time trying Akkeshi, and I'm impressed by its characteristics. This new distillery is promising.

How the score is built

4.07 is the plain average of 7 reviews.

The 3.82 score we rank by pulls that average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
