HTFW Cat. No: LP5486
Distillery Bottling

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.

Featured in Ian Buxton's 101 whiskies to try before you die book.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Bright golden straw with a hint of amber.

Nose

Honey over green apple and herbal pear, aromatic and floral with jasmine and ginger spice. Subtle smoke threads through grassy cereal notes, while hints of new leather and smoked apricot add warmth and depth to the perfume.

Palate

Salty apricot leads a succulent palate of stewed apples and pears infused with ginger, a whisper of spiced vanilla, melon and silky cocoa, finished with honey-nut breakfast cereal.

Finish

Grassy, herbal finish with melon and ginger lingering. A whisper of smoke and saline bite threads through, eased by vanillin oak for a refined, lasting finale.

Hakushu
(hah-koo-SHOO) Hakushu was founded in 1973 by Keizo Saji as Suntory’s second malt whisky distillery, built deep in the forests of the Southern Japanese Alps to mark 50 years since the founding of Japanese whisky. Created to produce a style distinct from Yamazaki, it was established in Yamanashi for its exceptionally soft mountain water and cool, misty climate, and has since become one of the defining names in Japanese single malt.
