(Location: Tomakomai City, Representative Director: Katsumi Yoshida), provides services based on the concept of “Brilliant Moments”, where you can enjoy interacting with horses in the magnificent nature of Hokkaido. “Akkeshi Whiskey” developed by Kenten Jitsugyo Co., Ltd. (Location: Akkeshi-cho, Akkeshi-gun, Hokkaido, President and CEO: Keiichi Hida) and Northern Horse Park Co., Ltd. will release a limited edition original label bottle as a special collaboration to honor the famous horses that represent the Japanese horse racing world. Just like whiskey that is slowly aged in barrels, racehorses undergo several years of training before making their debut on the big stage. For horse racing fans, we will be selling original bottles of Hokkaido’s beloved Akkeshi whiskey with the names of famous horses engraved on the labels, with the aim of allowing you to enjoy time at home reminiscing about the racehorses nurtured on the land of Hokkaido. We have prepared two types of designs: “Equinox”, which has a brilliant track record in G1 races both domestically and
internationally, and won first place in the world ranking in 2023, and “Douduce”, the famous horse that won the Japan Derby in 2022. This product is a particularly rare single cask whiskey among the Akkeshi whiskeys, which are highly rated both domestically and
internationally. Single cask refers to whiskey that is bottled from one barrel, and each barrel has a different flavor and aroma, making each barrel unique and valuable. This product, made using carefully selected barrels, has a mellow aroma of citrus and brown sugar, with hints of the tide and a smoky aftertaste that is unique to Akkeshi aging. Only 200 bottles with original labels engraved with the glory of both horses will be sold, and the first “Equinox Design Bottle” will be sold from 12:00 on Monday, March 24, 2025, and the second “Do Deuce Design Bottle” will be sold by lottery at the Northern Horse Park official online shop from April 1, 2025 (Tuesday). Akkeshi Whiskey, brought to you by the blessings of nature such as Hokkaido’s rich land and clear water, and Akkeshi’s cool and humid climate, allows you to feel the magnificent nature of Hokkaido and the powerful spirit of thoroughbreds. We will deliver a “shining moment” where you can remember the glorious trajectory of famous horses along with the brilliance of Akkeshi whiskey that shines with every sip. At Northern Horse Park, we will continue to operate in order to provide our guests with a “sparkling moment,” to protect the rich natural environment, and to contribute to the development of a sustainable Japanese society where people and horses live together, and to the development of equestrian culture. ◆Product overview [Product name] “Akkeshi Whiskey x Northern Horse Park Original Label Bottle” ・Equinox design bottle (limited to 200 bottles) ・Douduce design bottle (limited to 200 bottles) [Price] ¥51,000 (tax included, shipping included) [Contents] 700ml [Alcohol content] 48% [Flavor characteristics] Ripe citrus, raisin butter, black pepper, cacao chocolate [Sales Method] Northern Horse Park Online Shop URL:
