This 12-year-old Hakushu Single Malt, an original bottling, is the distillery’s standard expression. Here it is in the version released to mark the 100th anniversary of Suntory Whisky Japan.
The Hakushu distillery is located west of Tokyo and was built in 1973. It is one of the highest distilleries in the world. The term Hakushu roughly means white sand banks and refers to the water used from a mountain spring where the stream bed is full of white stones.
The whisky from Japan is like its makers. At first glance, reserved, respectful and polite. On closer inspection, however, enormously profound and multi-layered. Japanese whisky is the result of perfected craftsmanship. Many whiskies from Japan carry exotic fruity aromas and a floral bouquet in front of them.
