Hakushu 12 Year Old

The twelve-year-old malt from Hakushu, Suntory’s distillery in a mountain forest. It has the house’s fresh, green character, with grass, green apple, mint, citrus and soft, delicate smoke, very different from Islay’s maritime smoke. It is elegant and refreshing. Like other aged Japanese malts, it is scarce and expensive, but it is an essential reference for understanding the variety of Japanese whisky.
