Hakushu Single Malt Japanese Whisky (Old Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Pale straw-gold with a subtle green-tinged glow.

Nose

Fresh-cut herbs, crisp green apple and pear meet citrus zest and barley sweetness. A whisper of smoke drifts over damp forest floor, with vanilla and almond in the background, evoking a sunlit alpine grove.

Palate

Silky and bright, this Hakushu delivers crisp herbal freshness with a whisper of peat smoke. Green apple and pear harmonize with lemon zest and cucumber, while pine and mint lend a cool forest note. A delicate malt sweetness and subtle oak spice glide through the mid-palate, finishing clean, lightly smoky, with a lasting green, woodland impression.

Finish

Cooling and crisp, the finish lingers with lemon zest and green herb notes, a delicate kiss of smoke, and a mineral, piney echo that stays fresh and refined on the palate.
