Hakushu Limited Edition Bamboo Box Single Malt Japanese Whisky 18 Year Old
Out of stock
This bottle comes with a special label design and bamboo box rather than the usual cardboard carton and was only sold to the Japanese market for a short period.
First launched in 2006 and from the lesser known of the two Suntory owned distilleries (the other the mighty Yamazaki) and was at one point in the 1980's the largest distillery in the world! The 18 year old is aged in 1st and 2nd fill European oak.
An elegant masterclass of subtlety from the ever impressive Hakushu distillery.
